English: Close-up view of race car driver, Dario Resta, circa 1919. Mr. Resta was part of the select five-car competition at the Tacoma Speedway in July of 1919. He joined racing stars Louis Chevrolet, Ralph Mulford, Eddie Hearne and Cliff Durant for a one-day-only series of three races held on July 4th. It was the first time Mr. Resta had raced on the Speedway. Mr. Resta, of Italian descent, was raised in England and began racing there. In 1915 he finished second to Ralph DePalma in the Indy 500 after leading in the late stages. He won the Indy 500 the following year as well as the United States National Driving Championship. Mr. Resta had brought his Resta "Mystery" Special to Tacoma but his car failed to keep up with the larger cars of his competitors. He finished last in the 40 and 60 mile races and was forced out of the 80 mile final race in the 23rd lap with mechanical problems. He died at age 40 at Brooklands in England when a tire blew and sent his car out of control. (TNT 7-3-19, p. 1; 7-5-19, p. 1, 13-results; hickoksports.com) G52.1-030
