The Flying Start 3rd Annual 500 Mile International Sweepstakes, Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 30, 1913

Description:	Spectators watch intently as the pace lap ends and the cars accellerate in a cloud of smoke. The pace car, a Stoddard-Dayton driven by Carl G. Fisher, moves to the side to make way for the speeding racers. The new five-story Japanese pagoda, seen in the distance, was built to house concessions, communications, timers and scorers, the press, and race officials and special guests. The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order.
