About Manny Ayulo

Manuel Leaonedas Ayulo (October 20, 1921 – May 17, 1955 ) was an American racecar driver. His efforts, along with those of friend and teammate Jack McGrath, helped establish track roadsters as viable race cars.

He was found to have not been wearing a seat belt and his pockets "were filled with wrenches".
