Default T36 Auto Drivers

First off, I'm posting about Auto Racing in the Boxing & Wrestling forum b/c I did not see a forum that specified Auto Racing. I guess we could also include Horse Racing. T36 has 2 Subjects that are also found in T227...Mulford and Bruce-Brown. T227 features boxers and at least one wrestler.

I have read that this set was released in 1911, the inaugural year for the Indy 500. I've also read that all 25 drivers featured in the T36 set raced at Indy in 1911. I only found stats for Chevrolet beginning in 1915, so I can't confirm that they all ran at Indy in 1911, but it would make sense.

Anyone else have cards or info? Thanks

Here are a few notables. I have the basic set with mixed backs. Master set is 100 cards. 4 x 25 Hassan 30 and 649 and Mecca 30 and 649.

Ralph DePalma--won 1915 Indy 500

David Bruce-Brown--3rd at Indy 500 in 1911, tragically died in 1912. Maybe toughest card in T227 set.

Ralph Mulford--2nd at Indy 500 in 1911 T227 set member.

Louis Chevrolet- co-founder of Chevy. Raced at Indy. Seems to be most expensive card in the set.
