nzcarnerd ◊ 2012-05-08 21:07	This site lists all of the entrants, including those that practiced but did not start - http://homepage.lanck.net/faster/Indy-500/1936ind.htm - could this be #31??

The other problem is that the Bugatti appears as #49, not #8. With the lack of other Indy Bugattis to suggest instead, and assuming all info is correct, perhaps this is not Indy footage but another track and race in 1936?? The Miller #22 is a very convenient fit, but there were millions of old Millers around so there may have been other matching events.
