    Eddie Rickenbacker and the Vanderbilt Cup Races

    Was Eddie Rickenbacker ever a driver in the Vanderbilt Cup Races? My uncle, Clyde Virgil Latta, was a mechanic with Rickenbacker around 1915 and 1916. I don't know if Clyde was associated with Rickenbacker before those years or not. Clyde was an extremely short man, not more than 5' tall, probably made a very light-weight mechanic. I'd love to find a photo of him with Rickenbacker. (4 comments)
