About Teddy Tetzlaff
- Teddy Tetzlaff (February 5, 1883 Los Angeles, California – December 8, 1929 Artesia, California) was an American racecar driver active in the formative years of auto racing.
- He competed in the first four Indianapolis 500s, with a highest finish of second in 1912.
- He earned the nickname "Terrible" Teddy Tetzlaff due to his rough treatment of his vehicles.
- His wide-open throttle racing style would variously win a race, blow up his engine or cause him to crash.
- As auto racing strategies evolved from the early "go as fast as you can and see if you can stay on the track," his early dominance of the sport waned.
