Ted Horn was a remarkable driver that should have won the Indy 500, but he did not. He did win the AAA National Championship in 1946-47-48. Ted Horn would drive a midget race car, he said he didn't like them.

"Stay tuned for the greatest spectacle in racing" ~ Sid Collins
LAKESIDE - Late at night over by the old speedway, you can hear the ghosts - The barking and crackling of the "Flathead Fords", the zing of the "Chevy Stove Bolt's", The midget cars rumbling "KK-Offy's", the snarling "Ford V8-60's". Listen and faintly hear the announcer say, "Ladies and gentlemen, the line up for the main event," the place would erupt with the echoing of cheers and boo's mixed . . . Remember?
