get in the field. Now the trend of closed track racing may change again with the revolutionary new car in the lineup. THE FOREIGN DRIVERS and cars actually put the last major change at Indianapolis in 1961 when Jack Brabham came to Indianapolis and put a small Cooper Climax in the starting lineup. His ability to place well with this smaller and less powerful car of different design, v^as followed a couple years later with the Lotus Fords from England that complete changed the style and speed of the race. Now this grand prix style of car is the thing and just after it got to the point where this change was comes Andy Granitelli with the STP turbine car. one that is felt can make this change again if

allowed to compete in future years without too mjrh rule changing against it. INDIANAPOLIS HAS BEEN known to change rules to outlaw a certain type of engine, probably as an economy move for the owners as a car can become obsolete almost overnight. Just look how many four cylinder Offenhausers are setting around the < ount ry now in garages and places where these $20.00(1 cars became relics in a very short time. The owners put manv more thousands in a car that the actual price every year without completely changing aspect of the car and junking tin- old ones. THE TURBINE HAS BEEN arcepeted this year after some controversary. However, Granitelli has put three solid years and many thousands of dollars in this car just to get. it to Indianapolis this year. There are many advantages to the-car and a couple of disadvantages. Driver Parnelli Jones said his first drive in this car was ‘frightening" as he could hear for the first time, all the noises of the car and track as that deafening roar just isn't there. This alone makes tm. ear different than any other. Another thing, without the high compression of the other rate cars, this car has to be breaked going into the curves A normal car slows itself sufficently when the driver lets off approaching the curves, but the turbine would just keep going. Jones eases off at about the starting line for number one turn, but on the straightaway, nothing keeps up wth it as Jones was radar timed at over 230 mph on the back straightaway this year. Consider that he is still learning more about the car all the time, plus the fact that he put it in the race at over 166 mph and you have a real threat. IT IS INTERESTING TO note this year that the foreign drivers, who include some of the world's best, all are starting well back in the field and trying to catch up through heavy traffic can be next to impossible early in a race. Former winner Jimmy Clark is heading all foreign drivers in 16th spot. Then it drops back to the outside of the eighth row with rookie Dennis Hulme. Jackie Stewart, rookie of the year at Indy last year is In the middle of the 10th row and last year's winner. Graham Hill, and another rookie, Jachen Rindt, are first and .second in the very last row.

IF MARIO ANDETTVS CAR holds up, this man will easily take the early lead as he has been able to handle the Indianapolis track faster than anyone in history. His pole position definately gives him first shot at the first turn as anymore, no one challenges the number one car on the first turn. However, he has some real chargers up front with Dan Guermy, Gordon Johncock, A. J. Foyt, Joe Lennard, Jones and Lloyd Ruby all in the first three rows. Then the Unser Brothers, starting side by side in the third row, have been gaining more respect of the racing world all the time. THERE IS NO SUCH THING as a bad driver at Indianapolis. To pass all phases of their tests, they have to be number one in the sport. This will all unfold into the very rich and great race on Tuesday when Tony Hulman will grab the mike at about 10:55 and give that familiar command. "Gentlemen, Start Your Engines."
