Sept 1923, Tommy Milton heading for the Beverly Hills board track to race, in the HCS Special, a 1923 Miller 122, the first Miller (chassis and engine) to win the Indy 500 (thank you Dave!)

Like most of the great drivers from that era, Milton was a top-flight mechanic and self-taught engineer. Milton started his career as a driver with J. Alex Sloan's state fair automobile barnstorming act before making the move into AAA racing in 1916. 

Blind in one eye from birth, Milton drove for Fred and Augie Duesenberg's team and scored his first win in 1917 on the concrete oval at Providence, Rhode Island.

Milton was at Daytona Beach in 1920 to run a 'Beach car', a twin-engined Duesenberg designed specifically by Milton to break the land speed record, which it did, 5 mph over de Palma's record

Milton raced at some demonstration runs Havana with other early racing superstars Barney Oldfield and Ralph de Palma in 1920 as well

Milton won the AAA board track title in 1920 and '21 and during the height of the board track era between 1917-'25 Milton won twenty-three AAA championship races, including the 1921 and '23 Indy 500s.

The above Miller has a logo on the cowl above the word special, and on the grill, it's actually the logo of  Harry Stutz

Tommy Milton was the inspiration  in 1926 of  Finn Frolich's scupture placed in front of Richfield gas stations  https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/08/finn-frolich-architect-and-scuptor-of.html
