Description: |
Viewed from the first turn the camera scans the entire track during the third day of races. Spectators in the stands are on their feet as the speeding cars rush past a flagman in front of the control tower. Crowds in the infield relax around a stream and on the grass near the garages and the Aerodrome. This was the first year when races were held on the new brick surface. 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. |
