Tony Hulman - Tidbits and Trivia

Tidbits and Trivia

• The call letters for Hulman's WTHI television and radio stations were meant to stand for "With Tony Hulman's Interest"
• Most of the construction and improvement projects at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the Tony Hulman years were "handshake deals," done without a contract. Hulman preferred to do it that way, always pointing out that he wasn't in it for the money; he just wanted to deliver the best racing experience possible.
• Hulman joined a number of other successful businessmen by appearing in magazine advertisements for Lord Calvert Canadian Whisky under its slogan "for men of distinction." The ad became the foundation for a 1956 collage by Jess Collins called "Lord Pervert," which mocks Whittaker Chambers.
