The pole day attracted most of them, but Clark, who will only be in his second 500, stole the thunder with lus little green Lotus.

’soo' Drivers Resume Time Trials Saturday

Many prominent drivers and their chief mechanics are working overtime at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week in preparation for final official time trial sessions, Saturday and Sunday, to determine starting positions in the 48th annual 500 Mile Race on May 30. Saturday's schedule calls for the start of practice al 9 o'clock with qualification attempts starting at 11. As a precaution against the possibility of inclement weather on Sunday, all cars and drivers not yet qualified are expected to be on the track Saturday and gates to the giuunds will be opened at 8 a m. to handle the anticipated throng of fans Sunday the gates will be opened simultaneously with the start of practice at 9 o'clock and time trials will get under way at noon. Although the entry list numbeis 61. only the fastest 33 qualifiers will be eligible for starting positions on race day behind the Ford Mustang pace cat. Considerable last minute "car hopping." consequently, is expected this weekend as some drivers abandon their original cars in order to make qualifying attempts in ethers which they believe might be slightly faster. Special cash awards ranging downward from $1,200 to S2OO will be paid by the Speedway to the six fastest qualifiers each day and additional prizes totaling I S • aMj will be paid to the 10 fast || eD overall quahfieis regardless i of the day on which then time I trial runs were made The admission charge < h day wd! be $2 with al!

The big 4-whcel. eight cylinder job is something special and generates almost twice the horsepower as some of the other cars in the race, hut the secret of keeping them running for 500 miles hasn’t been found to date.
