Lotus-Ford Race Car Driven by Al Unser at Indianapolis 500, May 1966

Dave Friedman has captured and preserved auto racing history through his own photography and his collection of works by other photographers. This image documents the weeks-long events surrounding the fiftieth running of the Indianapolis 500. Indy rookie Graham Hill finished first. Hill was one of only seven drivers to complete the race after crashes and mechanical failures thinned the original field of thirty-three.
