Indianapolis 1910 – First races on the bricked yard.

In 1910, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway had it’s brickyard, which was laid in the last part of 1909. Bricking the Yard was a good decision. 
That year, a similar series like previous year’s many short races was organised; now without any catastrophy like last year. Event data were May 27-30, , July 2-4 and September 3-5. At stake stood the Prest-O-Lite, Wheeler-Schebler and Remy-Brassard trophies, as well as several 50- and 100-mile races.
But finally, the public’s interest waned. That made the IMS management reconsider and they adapted a different race set up. After 1910’s last race, it was announced that for the next year, only one large international race over 500 miles would be organised. What’s more, with a huge sum of prize money available, to attract more race drivers.
