Each year, on the weekend just after the 4th of July, a group of unusual cars gathers at the Milwaukee Mile, the country’s oldest oval track, hosting events every year since 1903 (aside from the WWII years). The cars are niche, front-engined Indy track cars from the earliest days of racing up to through the 1960s. Their owners share a healthy respect for speed, elegance in engineering, and an awareness of the history of racing in America.
