I Wild Bill Cummingt Out I To Shatter Speed Mark I r M INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — They said Leon Duray’s all-time lap record for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway would never be broken —so Wild Bill Cummings has determined to break it. Duray established the speed mark, 124.01° miles per hour around the two and a half mile speedway oval back in 1928, driving a one-seater car equipped with a supercharger, and using “doped" fuel. Cummings proved he meant business with his assertion when he went out in a two-seater in midApril, a car not equipped with supercharger, and roared around at 123 H miles an hour, setting an i all-time standard for two-man cars. And Wild Bill was using commercial gasoline, obtainable at any filling station, which will be compulsory for all cars in the Silver Anniversary 500-mile race on Monday, May 31. Cummings is driving a new four-cylinder speedster entered in the speed classic by Mike Boyle, Chicago sportsman. On the Boyle team also is Lou Moyer, the colorful California Dutchman who won ■ the race fur the third time in 1936. Cummings was the winner in 1934. __ |
