Ralph Mulford
National Champion







Indianapolis. This postcard carries a postmark of July 21, 1911, so the racing scene is almost certainly from 1909 or 1910. The sign at the left in the photograph says: "Drivers Are Warned Against Driving Wrong Way on Track or Turning Around." The view is of the northwest turn, today's Turn 4.
