Meets With AAA Contest Board .

Racing car owners and drivers fiwho refused to enter the Memorial

that official A. A. A. sanction for the race be revoked on grounds that the cash prizes are too small Spokesmen for the American So-

Racing whose members boycotted the race said they would make the request at a meeting with the American Automobile” Association contest board here. “We're going to discuss the possibility of them sanctioning another race,” sald Joe Lencki, Chicago car owner and spokesman for A. S. P. A. R. Lencki said Triple-A sanction requires prize money be “reasonably proportioned to gate receipts,” He estimated Speedway income for the race at $500,000. A. S. P. A. R. members boycotted the classic when Speedway officials refused to hike the $75,000 purse. Request to Be Refused

Secretary James Lamb of the board said its members would confer with representatives of A. S. P. A. R. But he said the drivers who boycotted the 500-mile race would be turned down on their- proposal for an independent race. Lamb said he told Lencki more

on the same day. The A.S.P.A.R. asked permission to race at Milwaukee. But Lamb said he told Lencki the A, A. A. board would listen to their case here anyway. Lamb said the suggestion that the Indianapolis sanction be revoked was “too ridiculous to discuss, since there is no reason to revoke it” Wilbur Shaw, president of the track, termed the A. S. P. A. Rs remarks as “absurd.” No Chance to Enter Cars

“The race will be operated this year as it hag in the past,” said Shaw. “Just because a group of disgruntled drivers missed the boat, we're not going to call it off.” Shaw said there was no chance that the A.S.P. A R.drivers would be permitted to enter the 500, unless they arranged to drive cars talready entered. Thirty-four cars were entéred before the April 15 deadline. The final day for selecting drivers is May 15. The meeting of A.S.P.A R.and the A. A. A. officials’ was scheduled for 2 p. m.
