In Response To: Friday: Monaco 1133B ()

The backdrop to my 1158 is the Marmon Wasp which won the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911. Note that this car had the first known rear view mirror which you can see mounted on the hood where a windscreen might be. The Wasp driven by Ray Harroun took 6 hours 42 minutes and 8 seconds to win the race in 1911. Next year we will have the 100th running of the 500.

Here is a video of Parnelli Jones of Heuer Viceroy fame driving the Wasp a couple of years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYAii6f32FE
