Jimmy Dunham dies at age 96
« on: July 28, 2008, 03:29:09 PM »
Jimmy Dunham, the riding mechanic on board for Kelly Petillo's storybook victory in the 1935 Indianapolis 500, died Friday, July 25. He was 96.

Dunham had an extraordinary memory and described his 1935 experiences in vivid detail. Riding mechanics generally tended to be a rather rough-and-tumble lot. The gentle, eloquent Dunham was almost professor-like in his approach.

Dunham made only one other trip to the Speedway, that coming in 2005, exactly 70 years after his victory. He correctly predicted Dan Wheldon's victory in that race.
