I am interested in the race cars of this era.  This is a 1902 Ford racer driven by Barnie Oldfield.  This is pre indianapolis and it is a very primitive racer with a very unusual steering apparatus and  very primitive angine and transmission controls.  This would be one of the earliest racers that I am aware of.
