Main Grandstands and Pits, 3rd Annual 500 Mile International Sweepstakes, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30, 1913

Description:	The camera looks down the brick track toward the newly constructed control tower. The main grandstands on the left and infield on the right are filled with spectators. Mechanics wait in the pits behind the safety of the concrete retaining wall ready for pit stops. The outward curve of the track is an optical illusion created by the camera. 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.
