Talented Rookies Ckalienga Veterans in Monday’s “600’^

An outstanding group of talented rookies will match skill with their more experienced rivals in the 49th annual 500-mile-race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Monday. I Several of the newcomers, headed by Mario Andretti, already have earned a sizeable part of the cash prizes offered for the fastest qualifiers during the Official time trials. Now they have their eyes on the Race Day purse of approximately $500,000 and they have had ample time to . become familiar with the challenging two- and -a - half - mile course. H ) The five-foot six-inch Andretti, ( -who performed exceptionally well in the only two previous USAC championship events this season, started the record-breaking spree ,on the first day of time trials by establishing new one-lap and four-lap marks of 159.405 and 158.849, respectively. Later in the day his performance was exceeded by Jim Clark, A. J. Foyt ;and Dan Gurney; but Mario is ^confident he can run with the .best of them. B Billy Foster and Gordon Johnr eock also appear to be formidable contenders in their first jf’6oo” appearance against such veterans as the front-row trio already mentioned and Rodger Ward, Parnell!

Indy 500 Will Go To "Charger" By Jim Hurtubisa * Voterart Indianapolis “SOO” Driver

r. Urnfag ths early days of racing, the winning drivers at Indlanapolls were veterans* who planned their race-day strategy well In advance and carried it out In every detail. In recent years, the situation has changed. The 500-mile classic on May 31 will be won by a*charger”—the driver who drives his car as fast as he can for as long as he can. For this reason, the early part of the Indy "500” will be a real thriller. All of the contenders will be battling for the No. 1 spot, as soon as the Plymouth pace car completes the parade lap. With that fact In mind. T plan to start with a full fuel tank in an effort to hold my pit stop time to a minimum and to go the full 500-mile distance on inly two fast pit stops. Because of the excellence of the cars and the probable speeds which are certain to be record-breaking, the driver who spends the least S mount of time In the pits will ave a decided advantage. It took eight years to raise the Qualifying speed from 140 to 150 toiles per hour, and that top speed was not attained until 1862. Last year, all but three of the IS drivers qualified their ears at speeds In excess of 150 toiles per hour, and the pole position was taken by Jimmy Clark with a hot qualifying speed of 158.828. Clark’s speed won’t be fast enough to regain the pole Crttwm this year. It is going to re to be In excess of 160 miles

per hour, and I believe that sev. eral cars will break that “magic* barrier. And I believe that anyone whose car performs under 150 miles per hour for the four-lap qualification run can make plans

to be a spectator on May 31. I most certainly plan to be in the race.driving a rear-en. gine car for the first time. AL though I’ve relied on the heavier, rugged “roadster” In each of my five

Hurtubiae

previous Indianapolis starts I believe one of the “pushers” will win and I want to be in it I’d like a large slice of that recordsetting purse of 1500,000. Progress in the development of rear-engine cars since last season makes it almost a sure bet that the era of the roadster will end this year at the speed. Way. Improvements in body designs, tires and suspensions seem to me to give the rear, engine cars a decided speed advantage over the front-engine machines. The new, lighter de. sign of the rear-engine car has still to establish its credentials as a winner of the 500-mile race, but this year it looks to me like as many as the first eight fin. ishers could be rear-engine cars. My plan Is to have all seven of the others finish behind me.’
