Floyd "Pop" Dreyer was the leading sidecar racer from the 1910s to the early 1920s. Dreyer won numerous national sidecar racing championships sanctioned by the Motorcycle & Allied Trades Association (M&ATA), the predecessor to the AMA. He retired from racing after the 1923 season. Dreyer moved to Indianapolis and became a welder for the luxurious Duesenberg Automobile Company. He also became involved in automobile racing and became one of the leading builders of midget race cars.
