Harry Miller Fan Club Meet - Anyone been?

[ddbach]

Next Friday and Saturday The Harry Miller Fan Club is running at the Milwaukee Mile. Has anyone else from here been to this event? I've taken dad the last three years since I stumbled upon it on the internet. http://www.harrymillerclub.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=66:2011-millers-at-milwaukee-event-set-for-july-8-9&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=50

Antique Indy cars, 1966 and older, mainly powered by Miller, Offenhauser engines. Some of the cars are two seaters and the owners are gracious enough to take spectators for a run.
Last year Hurley Haywood was there driving one of the cars.

Link to their photo gallery, Mr Haywood is in the set of 4 pictures.

An interesting bit of history that you can get up close to for $25 for both days. I got a ride in the 1932 Riverside Special year before last. The Mile has been in operation since 1903 so it's old too.

I'd drive 500 miles to see that.

Thanks, Tom. I was after the one of Mr Haywood in particular given his ties to Porsche.

Here are a few of my pictures from last year














Milt, fortunately for me it's less than 20 miles away but well worth the trip if there is even a vague reason to be in the midwest next week. KIC at Road America is the following week so I suspect some are headed there after this event.

Well, I went on Friday but didn't make it back for Saturday.
Someone else's video:



45 cars were there. The oldest was from 1913 and is the second car driving in the above video heading out onto the track. I ran into the owner and his wife of the 1932 Riverside Special and got another ride in it. They are taking it to a Concours event in Michigan the end of the month.

This owner looked like he was having a great time
