The same T36s used to sit on eBay for months on end at sky high prices. Now, they are quickly snapped up whenever they appear. I have toyed with the idea of putting together a set or picking up a complete set at auction in recent years, and it amazes how much they seem to have taken off in price.
The part about all 25 drivers competing at Indy in 1911 is definitely not accurate. Oldfield was the most famous racer of the time, so much so that he was synonymous with racing itself. He only competed at Indy in 1914 and 1916.
FWIW, the scoring became screwed up at the inaugural 500. For over 100 years, there have been claims that Ralph Mulford actually won the race instead of finishing second.
