I was in Indianapolis last week and stopped by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum before they close for renovation. A couple of "fan favorite" Lotuses (Loti??) on display. The last photo, while not a Lotus, is the very famous 1911 Inaugural Indy 500 winner... the Marmon Wasp driven by Ray Harroun. (imsmuseum.org)

Very cool, Tom -- thanks! I LOVE the Lotus 34!!

BTW, the 'official' plural of Lotus is 'Lotus'. Here's an article with a pic of the old Lotus press release.

That’s not annoying at all!! Actually fascinating. I was just making a silly joke and had no idea it was really a thing. The fact that you knew about the press release is what I find really amazing! Thanks for the info!
