Experienced racer, especially in California. Killed in practice for the Indy 500 when possible fatigue set in and he lost control. Ayulo was actually of Peruvian ancestry, as his father was the counsel to America when Manny was born. But the family later settled in America where Ayulo raced in hot rods in 1946, working as his own mechanic whilst racing. Although Ayulo impressed in midget cars, his 1954 season in Indycars, where he won twice and finished as runner-up in the National Championship was probably his best.
