A fun weekend at the Milwaukee Mile with the Harry Miller Indy Cars and a few others.

I can't believe that it's almost Thanksgiving. Time flies, doesn't it?

Finally catching up with things but still have a ton of Summerfest photos to edit and archive for future blogs.

So, this is Part 2 of the Millers at the Milwaukee Mile on July 8th and 9th of 2022. The previous blog was Part 1.

During this two day event I took over 600 photos at the Milwaukee Mile. Then I went to Summerfest in the evening to photograph Rod Stewart, Cheap Trick, The Tubes, John Fogerty, Los Straightjackets, Rick Springfield, The Cult and the Marshall Tucker Band!!  Probably took over 3000 photos that weekend.

Enjoy another look at some amazing and historic cars at the Milwaukee Mile.

It's such a good story of how Indy cars evolved through the years. I still can't imagine driving an Indy 500 in some of these cars, but at the time, they were the state of the art machines.

Some of these photos may look very similar to the photos in the Part 1 blog but the drivers are diffferent in a few of the cars. I'm also using 3 cameras with different setups and lenses.

Thanks,

I just realized that I didn't put a blog up of this great event. It was at the same time as Summerfest and Gathering on the Green. It was a busy weekend here in Milwaukee.

The Millers at Milwaukee is a wonderful event held annually at the Milwaukee Mile. This year it was on July 8 and 9, 2022 and the weather was perfect.

If you don't know who Harry Miller is, PLEASE look him up and read the amazing history of this man from Milwaukee who changed racing history.

A lot of these cars are Millers that were complete with Miller engines. But, there are some other great pieces of history here running on track as well.

I took enough photos that I'm going to split this into two blogs and this is part 1.

These cars are pieces of art and one can only imagine racing 500 miles at Indy in one of them!

Not all of them ran on track but I tried to get a photo or two of all, plus of course the famous grid photo.

My grid photo is different than the traditional one done for years from the starters stand on the side of the track. I brought my 10 foot ladder, put it in the center of the grid, and photographed the bunch as they left the grid.

Enjoy a peak at them and more to come next blog.

Thanks,

Rich Zimmermann
