American Indy Car Mechanic School was next to Gene White Firestone on 16th. Keplar's Garage was a huge beehive of Indy Racing which was off an ally on Main Street in Speedway. I could go on and on... that History Mystery guy needs to read a book or two.

I'm aware of the Hystery Mystery Guy as well as David Land ,Marshall Puruett and racer.com, all good stuff but not what I'm talking about with some of these stock car guys with thier diving into crew chief stories, car owner stories and driver stories.... I just think it would be great to have someting like what they do about the open wheel world...
