As we\u2019ve done each of the ten years we\u2019ve now been in publication, this month we focus all of the content within this issue around the featured marque at this year\u2019s Monterey Historics. In this year\u2019s case, we pay tribute to the famed Indy Roadster. Oddly enough, over the course of putting together this year\u2019s issue, something really unusual happened to our staff of writers\u2026they came face-to-face with their own racing biases.<\/p>\n

When you look at what we, as historic racing enthusiasts, typically do and where our interests in motorsports originated, by and large, we hark from a Eurocentric, road racing tradition. Whether you live in New York, Sydney or London, if you\u2019re reading this magazine, chances are good that you fell \u201cin love with motorsport\u201d by watching European-built (or European-derived) cars racing around a circuit. It might have been Grand Prix racing, it might have been Le Mans, or it might have been saloons running around Bathurst. Whatever the circumstances, many of us can trace our own racing roots to this branch of the motorsport tradition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
