The town's page at
www.townofspeedway.org shows the town's flag, but the two stars in the first
quarter should be gold. Also, the seal is printed so that it reads correctly on
both sides, and the "gold" on the flag is more yellow.
Obviously, the B/W colours of the flag are taken from the checkered flag of auto
racing. The symbols on the seal are a spark plug, an atom (Lithium?), and three
wheels (probably gear wheels). The circle around the seal reads "TOWN OF
SPEEDWAY INDIANA" "1926", and the ribbon below reads "EDUCATION INDUSTRY
PROGRESS"

The atom is just a stylized "Rutherford solar-system" model similar to the
logo of Getty Oil; no attempt is there to indicate lithium. If it were, one of
the electrons would be further out :-)
