Dad was an engineer for Clint Brawner and Jimmy Bryan the year he won it. 1958. Dad was also the last person to ever speak to Vuky Sr. In the can in Gasoline Alley. Grandpa worked for Harry Miller in the 30’s - later Offenhauser.
" His most prized collection was the fastest qualifying car of 1935: the Gilmore Special Miller, which was the first car to break the 120 mph average lap speed barrier. This vehicle is a great example of the Miller-engineered racers that won at Indianapolis 12 times and dominated the 500 for decades...."
So many of the Miller cars were wonders in their day. You must have heard a ton about them.
