This victory’ by (Hark, the first by a foreign driver in many a year, could officially change th« racing trend at Indianapolis. Indianapolis is now the rear-engine track as proved Monday. FOR THE PAST THREE years, tear engine car*', have challenged the conventional Offenhauser Roadsters and now has come up with the victory to really, make it final. Last year really proved the rear engine car as they placed well in the race and were plentiful on the scene. This yuar was more so. Only four Offy roadsters made the starting 33 car field with two fmnt engine Nevis and 27 roar engine cars. Fords and Offys. WHAT IS THE REASON FOR the success m sucn a snort t'me? The drivers claim it is the handling of the car. With the engine in the back, the weight is distributed so differently that the cars, now are not sliding the rear end through the turns th.- way a front engine car must to get that great speed.

car is lighter and combination of aR things have made this the coming thing. It will he so conclusive that next year, front engine cars will even be more obsolete at Indianapolis. This is especially true with the announcement late last week that Meyer Drake, the makers of the Offenhausen engine, is not making any more racing engines for next year. They simply can't compete the front engine jobs with the new Ford motors and claimed 1 at it would have to be left to a lai ger company to challenge them. This stands to reason as Ford has probably pumped millions into the racing engines the last few years and only a couple oi companies can afford sin h as this. CLARK, IN WINNING THE race, rea’.'y moved out in a hurry as he passed the poll position cai before the first turn. This was another Lotus that also had a capab'e driver in two-time winm r. A. .1. Foyt. However, Clark moved ahead and only for ten laps of the entire 5(10 did anyone el e lead, that being Foyt. However, the eventual winner just kept stretching his lead unti', he was safe'y ahead and then eased off Io speeds of just under 150 for a while, but still an easy winn- i over second plat e Parnelli Jones THE RACE MONDAY FAILed t • produce th.’f excitement that comes from two or more fighting for the lead.

aided also, as were all the finishers. by a track that wasn't very crowded as the cars spread out very early, especially after the warning given in the driver's meeting due to the serious accident on the second lap l^ist year. The less crowded track is much easier to drive and a very little time spent under the yellow light also boost* d the winning time. The <>n\V thing that marred th<‘ race all the way. was the cars pulling into the pits with (heir various troubles in keeping the expensive lit:> cars running. The beating a <ar takes at these speeds was just too much for many of Um autos. Onty 11 were limning when they pulh'l them off the tl;i< k. A .1 FOYT DID PROVIDE sum.; excitement for awhile as he was running second to Clark, but as Clark later stated, he real’^ didn't worry about him because from the early racing with him. he knew ho could beat Fovt When Foyt wont out 2S7'o miles, it was just Clark from then on. Jones did niak* some time on (’lark after the Scot eased up. but he then had to stave off a bid by rookie Mario Andretti to finish second as both of those finished at a faster speed than did last year's winner, Foyt. They were also driving rear engine Fords. IT IF ALL OVER FOR ANother year, but al T -?ady C»ark has stated that he didn’t particularly care for the 500 and liked road

racing much better. He said ha doesn't know whether he will be back next year to defend title or not, now that ha has proved he can win it. Despite mil hut criticism, the time taken in the month of May, the closed circuit opposed to road racing and all, it will still take him a long time and lot of racing to match the pot gets for the victory this year. HAVING LIKED CLARK TN his past pertormances. and recognizing him as a very great racer, the comments he made lessens his popularity with yours truly vary much, and if he feels that way, let him stay in road racing and give Indianapolis back to such as Jones, Foyt, Ward, Branson and all the old pros and rookies wh« are a credit to Indianapolis thru their competition and records at the world's most famous track.
