Wow...George Miller and his Indy cars were Indy 500 legends.

" 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.
