It was quiet here for over two years, but there was a good reason for that.
Today, 111 years ago, the first Indy 500 automobile race held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) in Speedway, Indiana, USA.
The winner was Ray Harroun (1879-1968) after 6 hours, 42 minutes and 11 seconds on the "Brickyard".
Another car of former actor Steve McQueen, who sadly died in 1980, was sold to a german dealer. The car is a Ford Mustang Fastback, build in 1969.
