Lack of experience is the biggest handicap this trio will have to overcome, but the two Maseratis they will drive apparently have the | stamina to go the distance. Then there are the young drivers, some of whom made brilliant freshman records by coupling good, qualifying times with “cum laude” marks on their driving tests. Among these you might keep your tyes on Sam Hanks, Joier Chitwood, Billy DeVore, Tommy Hinnershifz and Duke Nalon. : The. seasoned veterans you probably already know. In this group are such strong contenders as Mauri Rose, Cliff Bergere, Frank Wearne, Joe Thorne, Frank Brisko, Russ Sncwberger, Shorty Cantlon, Harry McQuinn, Emil Andres, Al Miller, Raiph Hepburn and Chet Miller. The track itself presented a completely different picture today from that of tomorrow.
