He photographed the first Indianapolis 500 Parade, which has become an annual event. He captured A.J. Foyt winning his first race at the Brickyard. He was on hand to photograph the breaking of the 150-mph barrier. Then he saw the transition the front-engined Offenhauser to the rear-engined Lotus-Fords, which ended the Golden Era.
