Dan Davis brought three historic Miller racing cars from Florida to the Milwaukee Mile in mid-July for the annual meeting of the Harry A. Miller Club, and he let me drive them. He let me drive them. Preston Lerner's story in our October issue may help you understand the magnanimity of that gesture, but not quite. Dan owns three of the most important Miller racing cars on the planet: the 1920 Miller TNT, the oldest Miller in existence; the 1923 Count Zborowski grand prix car, the earliest complete Miller car in its original form; and the 1923 Miller 122 Indy racer, simply the finest Miller 122 in existence. He loves them. He loves to drive them, he loves this event, and he had been needling me for two years to come see for myself how special this weekend was. So I came, helmet in hand, just in case he was serious about letting me drive one.
