Description:

"A Tribute To Sid Collins And The Hulman Era". Much of the book is written by Sid himself, describing his life experiences. "During the book many things happened. It was all about Sid Collins, which was very interesting to read about his life. Sid Collins became the WIBC radio announcer. He witnessed a death at the Indy 500. Sid did the 4 1/2 hour broadcast on the Indianapolis 500 located at Indianapolis Indiana. A few days before the 1953 race Jack Benny drove his old Maxwell to the track and then around the course. Sid went to New York to see his friend Bill Slater that he hasn't seen in a couple of years. Normally Bill went to the race track every year but this year he just couldn't make it. The book doesn't say why he couldn't make it so it could of been because of family, health, or personal reasons. The book also told a little bit about Hulman which attended Yale. Hulman got 7 letters from Yale and was on the undefeated Yale football team. He god 10 medals for pole vaulting and hurdling. Hulman graduated in 1924 with a degree in administrative engineering."
