So I’m snoozing my way into work on yet another Wednesday morning, and suddenly this automobile shoots by me in the left lane. It was so sudden I didn’t even get the settings changed on the camera before I started shooting one-handed. It was the Wednesday before the Indy 500, and I knew exactly what was going on immediately. It is on this day every year that the track has a “drive around the Brickyard” day where you get to drive your own automobile out onto the track. My dad’s Model T club has been attending this event for several years now. I knew this had to be one of the guys from the club. He happened to stay on my route for another couple of miles, but at the first intersection where he pulled into the left turn lane to head south, we happened to hit a red light. I jumped out of my car and ran up and said hello to him. Man, what a cool way to start the morning.

As an aside, I just KNOW this guy was running a Model A crank in that thing! He was hitting 35mph with no problems! Model Ts just never could turn that high with the factory non-counterweighted crank. This thing was a rocket!
