Wisconsin native Harry Miller built the cars to beat at Indianapolis in the 1920's and 1930's. The late Dave Uihlein (Milwaukee native and Miller collector) started the Harry Miller Club and this annual event at the Milwaukee Mile ... oldest continuously active race track in the world; predates the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Miller race engine was the basis for the Offy engine which powered midgets, sprint car, and Indy winner from the 1940's into the late 1980's.

The 19th annual Millers at Milwaukee–Vintage Indy Car Event is fast approaching!
A few years ago we had to limit the number of cars entered to a maximum of 60. We reached that total the last two years, and we don’t want anyone to be disappointed. You can copy the entry application from the harrymillerclub.com website, or request by e-mail at harrymillerclub@sbcglobal.net This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
Our exciting weekend begins on Thursday, July 11 with an evening cook-out and social at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Entrants commented last year, that it was a great opportunity to meet up with old friends in a relaxing setting. The annual banquet and silent auction are held on Friday evening, and offer a wonderful evening with great food and conversation.
The Crowne Plaza Milwaukee West is the host hotel for our gathering. It has proven to be the perfect location - with excellent accommodations, delicious food and courteous service.
Make your reservations by calling 414-475-9500 and state that you are with the Harry Miller Club and the Millers at Milwaukee Event.
We are partnering with the Andretti Sports Marketing group to promote both our event in July and the Milwaukee IndyFest Event to be held at the Milwaukee Mile on June 14-15. The Miller Club will have an information table at their gathering, and share information about our July event. Dana will have three of his historic cars on display, representing the styles of cars people can expect to see in our vintage lineup! We believe this joint promotional opportunity will draw many more spectators and entrants to our Miller Event the following month!
We had expected to have the boardtrack racing group exhibit their motorcycles during our event on Friday, July 12. Unfortunately, due to scheduling changes, the group will not be part of our event this year.
For a complete overview of the Millers at Milwaukee weekend event, please see page 6. You will also find event information on the club website. If you have specific questions, please e-mail or call Lenore at 262-388-5221. See you in July!
