About the Author Rex Dean The researcher on this project, Rex Dean, has had an intense interest in the Indianapolis 500-Mile-Race since 1953 when Bill Vukovich won his first Indianapolis 500-Mile-Race. The circumstances of the accident that took Vukovich's life captured Dean's imagination and led to a lifelong fascination with every aspect of the Indianapolis "500". He has attended many Indianapolis 500-Mile-Races through the years and while in Indianapolis during the Month of May researched every imaginable aspect of the track itself, the race and particularly the Vukovich accident. Because this was such a big event and because there were so many conflicting versions of what happened that day, Dean set out to compile the most accurate report as possible for historians and race fans who may study the history of the Indianapolis 500-Mile-Race in the future. Dean was educated and worked for many years in motion picture and television production and distribution and gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about all phases of motion picture film including shooting, editing and projection. He also has worked as a newspaper reporter and columnist for daily and weekly newspapers. Skilled in the computer enhancement of photographs, Dean has spent years researching additional projects of a complex nature. In putting together this report he has utilized to the maximum his combined skills and knowledge in all of these fields.
