Sorry, we couldn't find anything matching "This sporty National Semi-Racing Roadster reflects the racing tradition of its designer and manufacturer, racecar driver Arthur Newby. Originally involved with bicycles, Newby invented the famous six-day bicycle race during the national craze for bicycles. Along with James Allison and Carl Fisher, Newby built the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1909. Its first race took place in 1911. The winning car had a rear-view mirror, the first time this technology was used, and the publicity following the race led to the mirror's quick adoption nationwide. Newby's own racecar won the race in 1912. The speedway is now internationally famous for its 500-mile race held annually on Memorial Day. The National Semi-Racing Roadster was manufactured by Newby's firm, the National Motor Vehicle Company.".
