THF228785 / Joe Dawson, #2 Marmon, Vanderbilt Cup Race
01
Artifact Overview
Two race teams drove Marmon vehicles at the 1911 Vanderbilt Cup Race in Savannah, Georgia. Hopes were high for victory since a Marmon had won at the inaugural Indianapolis 500 earlier in the year. These race cars, however, did not fare as well. The #2 Marmon, driven by Bob Burman, left after seven laps. One lap later, the other Marmon dropped out.
