DYK[edit]

Perhaps this article is a candidate for a Did You Know? Any suggestions for hooks? Maybe the track speed records, or about the dangerous reputation ... -- Eclipsed (talk) (COI Declaration)

The immediate thought that comes to mind is that the track record was faster than the pole speed at Indianapolis in 1922. Belchfire (talk) 22:20, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, after looking over the process I've decided to go with something else. Thanks for the idea! Belchfire (talk) 23:45, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bounding[edit]

The article says it was bounded by Lakeview Drive. Is it bounded by Lakewood Drive or Lakeview Avenue? There is no Lakeview Drive in that area. I think it was meant to be Lakeview Avenue.

You are correct. Good catch, thank you! I'll make the change right now, if you haven't already. Belchfire-TALK 17:58, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
