The veteran Cliff Bergere was listed by the Speedway as the other driver on the Winfield Engineering Co. team, to be seated in the car in which Ralph Hepburn set the qualifying record last May. Hanks brought an Offenhauserpowered midget race car with him from the Coast and has been competing at Hoosier tracks: “I'd sure like to run in the 500,” he sald. ’ He was in the front row in 1946; failed to start in 1941 when his car was wrecked in a race-eve crash, and went out of the 1940 race after 192 laps when the first car was flagged off due to rain. -

The track management also emphasized th& point that the May 15 dead line for the listing of drivers is for “program purposes only.” This is to allow time for printing. Drivers may be nominated, the management pointed out, as late as the final day of qualification. But, under A. A.

Specials is matched by their up-to-the-minute mechanical features, The cars are of front-drive construction, incorporating individual wheel suspension. They're equipped with four-wheel hydraulic brakes and a three-speed-forward transmission. The wheels, 20 inches in diameter, wear 7.50x20 tires. The four cylinder Offenhauser en« gine has a 274 cubic inch displacement and operates at a 12-1 compression ratio, developing one horsepower per cubic inch of displacement at 6000 revolutions a minute. The engine itself weighs about 350

Carburetion is by two aircrafttype pressure carburetors mounted on a special four-port aluminum intake manifold. The cars carry 50 gallons of fuel in a tail tank and 10 gallons of oil in tank under the driver's seat.
