Each Electronic Field Trip requires
the time and effort of many people devoted to the
subject of each trip to make it a success. The EFT
"Going, Going, Faster!" came
to fruition through the sweat and tears and stories
and research provided by the following groups. Visit
their individual websites for more information about
each organization.

The Hulman-George family continues to own and operate the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with Mari Hulman George serving as Chairman of the Board and Anton "Tony" George serving as President and Chief Executive Officer.
