Harry Miller’s eight-cylinder, supercharged, front wheel drive race cars hit the tracks in the late 1920s, and the dozen demons were unlike anything the competition could offer.

Gustavo Yacaman (on the right) from Colombia won the 35-lap Indy Lights race which preceded the main race today at the Baltimore Grand Prix.
The Golden Era of the Grand Prix Races
Fun Facts:
Grand Prix racing most famous era was from 1934 to 1939.
Motor racing in the thirties was much more than that, it was the 'Golden Era' of Grand Prix racing for many reasons:
It was a time of immense technical progress and development.
It was a time of some of the most spectacular cars and magnificent races ever seen.
It was a time when 300,000 spectators could come to an arena to witness a race.
It was a time of some of the greatest drivers ever: Nuvolari, Rosemeyer, Caracciola, Varzi, Wimille, Chiro and many more.
And then it was the time when Voiturette racing made its comeback.
In those days Voiturette racing was the little brother of Grand Prix racing. It has its equivalent nowadays in the Formula 3000 or Indy light series.
Eventually the Voiturettes took over the racing tracks. New racing rules were developed in 1946 and the existing Voiturette cars were made the backbone of future racing.
The new rules were later to be known as ... 'Formula One'

The first Grand Prix race in Baltimore, MD. I grew up here and it was such a strange thing to see cars going that fast on Light St. that weren't running from the police!
So, we're sitting in the grandstands getting ready for the start of the IRL race, when a guy comes up to sit behind us. He's wearing some serious headsets, which are obviously a sign that he is part of a race or broadcast team, but we weren't sure what his connection was...
At one point, when Danica Patrick was involved in a small accident, he started swearing up a blue streak! "F*@#! G%# Damnit! We're f#$%$^% screwed!" and so forth, while stomping on the bleachers and banging his water bottle on the railing... I thought to myself, "Wow, this guy's really passionate about his racing!"
Later, during the race he would comment to his buddies about who took on how much fuel in the last stop, or other strategic things that wouldn't be known to a casual observer so I started to get nosy and snuck a peek at the All Access badge he had hanging around his neck. It read "T. J. Patrick", Danica's father!! He was quite vocal about his pleasure and displeasure with various events throughout the race. It's pretty easy to tell where Danica got her competitive streak and desire to win, that's for sure!
So of course, I used the wide angle lens and a little fill flash to get a shot with him in it! ;) Yet another 365 shot with a psuedo-celebrity!
So sad...
Dan Wheldon, moved to the United States from his native England with hopes of winning the Indianapolis 500 which he went on to win twice, died Sunday (October 16th ) after a massive, fiery wreck at the season ending race in Las Vegas. He was 33 years old. Wheldon won the Indy 500 for the second time this May. He won 16 IndyCar races in his career and was the series champion in 2005.
