Speedway Qualifying Trials Start Today INDIANAPOLIS (UP) • — More than 100,000 fans jammed the Speedway grounds today to watch the "battle for the pole” for the 41st annual 500-mile Memorial Day auto race. Barring weather complications, officials believed as many as 20 drivers may take the starter’s flag for their 10-mile trial runs around the two-and-one-half mile oval. ■ ' . There was a good chance, though, that rain may at least delay start of the qualifications, set for 11 a.m., CDT. Sunday and the next two weekend days were set aside to fill the 33-car starting field for what is expected to be the richest auto race in history. Speedway officials indicated the total pay-off would exceed 8300,000. It was the supercharged Novi driven by squat Paul Russo against the field for the inside berth in the front row. Although the Speedway’s “hard luck” machine, the Novi and its twin to be piloted by Tony Bettenhausen are the most powerful racers entered. The best a Novi done in the race was third 28*1948 when Duke Nalon put it on the pole. Russo was leading the pack last year when he crashed in the southwest turn, and in other years mechanical failures put the eightcylinder power plants out early. There was only a slim chance Bettenhausen will try ,to qualify this weekend. A warm and sunny day would enhance chances for new qualification- records. Pat Flaherty, the seventh pole winner to capture the holiday grind, last year boosted the marks to 146.056 and 145.596 miles an hour for one and four laps, respectively. No practice laps topped 145 mph, but officials were convinced many of the veteran drivers assembled are capable of flashing around the oval at such speeds.
