Turin • will be tunning full steam attei coming out ot number Lair and ugh', in the middle of the straight oi way, the deafening ioai ot til. < us gunning then imams in anticipation or hitting the stalling I ne as fast as possible, will be signal enough to tell everyon • the race is n >w underway. THE BATTLE THEN WILL be on. Moie so this year than in the past, it will n< t be A. J. Foyt against such as Andretti, Graham Hill against Bobby Unser, or Joe Leonard against Gordon Johncock. it will be the turbine against the piston type engine in the minds of everyone. Sure, they will be saying Leonard l still leading or Foyt has moved up well in the early stages or Dan Gurney is going to take the lead when the leader pits, but still it will be can they catch the turbines or will they completely outclass the piston type engines. AS THE RACE PROGRESSES the cars will begin to spread out. It takes only a couple of laps to get almost half the track into use as the leaders pull away a little from the field and some of the cars starting back in the pack, will find a sp.it to run without too much of a crowd for a safety precaution. Also, it is bound to happen, shortly after the race starts, one of the cars will be smoking a little heavy or just missing and not running up to speeds. Maybe a pit stop in the first few laps is the first real indication of trouble, but it wn. happen to someone whether it a top ranking driver like AndreUti ot a rookie. AND SPEAKING OF ROOKies, a lot of attention will oe fixused on two rookies at the speedway this year that will have more than their share of attention for a new driver just because of their famous fathers. Bill Vukovich. Jr., a 24 year-old driver whose father was truly one of the greatest is not the greatest at Indianapolis, and Gary Bettenhausen. 26 year-old son of the famous Tony Bettenhausen, never a winner at Indy, but second a couple of times and two times the leading driver in the country for that year. THESE TWO ARE FOLLOWing the traditions theii fathers

left, and just the names are enough to att rad attention. They are stalling in spots together as they both qualified at almost tin same speed. To date, but with the eight spots still left op. n. there aren’t too many rookies in this year's race and yet < nly two tormei winners are driving. that being three-time winner and defending champ. A. J. F> y l ant Graham Hill who was a winn i in 1966. WITH ALL THE COLOR AND pagentry that surrounds the so>. this still could be the race that decides the fate of the turbine car. The drivers fed that it is almost a conceeded race to the turbines and many have spoken out strongly against this type of car to the extent that the should have their own race. however, these same driveis also stated that if they were to be continued to run. they would come back with turbines of their own. Joe Leonard. Graham Hill and Art. Pollard, all uriving lor Andy Granatelli or STP and Gilbert's Mens Store fame, will be the three to watch for if the turbine is that much superior. Starting number one, two and eleventh, they still will have some good drivers in some tine machines to contend with all during the race. However, the chance of a mechanical failure in the turbine is so much less than in a piston type engine. Al any rate, Thursday will be another great dayin Indianapolis.
