Stumbled across this gem (http://www.rumbledrome.com/milwvand.html) today. With Milwaukee a week away, I thought a little travel through time might be interesting.
The 1912 Vanderbilt Cup Race was a 300-mile event run on city streets in the northwest part of Milwaukee on Wednesday, Oct. 2. Below are transcripts of the coverage by The Milwaukee Journal.

Be careful what you post. :)

It always annoys the gomers when somebody points out how important road and street racing was in the formative years of motorsport in this country. Now go find something about the Indiana Trophy race on a road course at Crown Point, IN in June of 1909.
