In Memorial Day 500 Race

There will be considerable area interest in the Memorial Day Indianapolis SQO speedway races, with a local motor oil addative representative sponsoring car 75, driven by Art Malone, and cosponsoring car 56, driven by Chuck Hertibes. . ■ The STP (Scientifically Treated Petroleum) firm, internationally known and served in this area by Harry Nicolai of Syracuse is sponsoring the two fast-moving cars and staking its reputation on their outcome at Indianapolis. Big Purse The total purse is over $400,000 for the third straight year. Cash accessory prizes have been boosted' by $12,125. Racing in its various phases has its own audience and it is a loyal one. And when the 500 arrives with reputations of both drivers and cars at stake and where the painstaking preparations of rnany months can be ruined or justified

To the uninitiated this day, which begins at daybreak with the approach to the speedway through the dense traffic, may be a wearing one but not to those who find a special fascination in the nevereriding change in the progress of the event. Believe Year for Novis As example there is Andy Granatelli, who became the post-war king of mid-western hot rodders, racing drivers and race promoters by the time he was 34. Then he went to-California to retire. In the early 1950 s he was 30, an Indianapolis car owner and a competitor in the 500. He didn’t win that year but he did the next best thing, he finished second. He expected some congratulations but all he got were commiserations and for a time he didn’t care whether he ever competed again. But he did. The lure was there. He returned as the owner of what

Andy, his brother Joe and, Jean Marsenas, a name synonymous with Novis, will have three exhibits of this car in the time trials —two new Tropicans Specials and the, ST? Special. In the past the Novis have been the sentimental favorites but never have they lived up to expectations. Andy came into racing after World War II while he still wore bits and pieces of his old Army Air Force uniform. He didn’t stop with wrench twisting but attended engineering courses at Northwestern university and then began designing and manufacturing his own engine and chassis components. In 1946 he and his brothers had a modified stock engine which brought jeers from the old pros. It had a flat head stock car engine and it cranked put a then-rapid qualifying lap of 123.7 m. p. h.

capable of amazing horsepower — 734. But they’re hard to handle and drivers, accustomed to the 400 horsepower Offenhausers have had difficulty with them, Granatelli, a Bonneville salt flats speed champion, invested some $250,000 into the Novi project and now he thinks he has licked his main problems. The new car weighs 1,680 pounds in contrast to its old weight of 2,800 pounds. Horsepower has been dropped to 649, which still may be more than is needed. That can be too much for a driver to handle. But this Andy believes will be a year for the Novis. He is an example of a great number who have forgotten their past misfortunes and applied their mechanical skill to correct the mistakes of the past. That’s one great reason for the popularity of the 500. In this one I day is embedded so much that ■ means so much to so many.
