Your Sports Corner Dy Robert Frtnn j THE FIELD IS SET AND Only | the waiting awaits the 33 driver for the 1957 running of the famed 500 mile classic at the Indianapo hs Speedwey on Memorial day An । interferring weather man made it । difficult, but all of the cars a i the large 2L- mile track had thei • chances to qualify for this year’s race, leaving only the fastest 33 around by the finish of tht- 10 mile rusn. SOME CHANGES HAVE BEE? made m the starting of the 33 low-slung speedy cars as a new way of lining up and starting wall take place. Instead of pushing a 1 ot the colorful cars onto the track into 11 neat rows, the cars will remain in the. pit area and each car will lineup in their pits. The 1957 Mercury official pace car will then lead the cars out of the pit area in a slow first lap tha will be used to hen the cars into the traditional 11 rows. They will then tour a second lap increasing their speed an as the come down the mam brick straightaway, the Mercury pace car will pull into the pit area once again and the green flag will be waving giving th drivers the start at over 100 miles per hour. CHANGES HAVE ALSO BEEN made in the appearance of the track itself as owner Tony Hulman, Jr., continues his efforts to improve the tremendous track. The old Pagoda has been torn down and replaced with a new modern control tower located further north on the straightaway. Also the pit area has been changed from the former spot at the im mediate inside of the track near the South-west corner. The pits

are now behind a small island of; | grass witii an entrance ami exit at the resneeTive end 1 ! The m"*n purpose of this of course is the added safety as one mechanic was hit by a spinning car last year in j the race and seriously injured. ( AS FOR THE DRIVERS and r pais entered in the starting field, there are 17 cats this year, that I is a i ecord, and 5 rookie drivers. One item that might have influi emed the run of new’ cars Ls the . fact that the motors have been reduced in size by 10*7 this year foi what Speedway officials term i "safety measures”. Last year l there w’ere 10 wrecks and they । felt the smaller engines would aid in stepping this. TWO OF THE CARS rated a! . good chance is the two super-1 ’ charged Novi cars. You will re-j member last year Paul Russo wasj really putting on a show of speed ■ for the fans in one of the Novis ■ when he blew a tire and hit the, i wall on the scuthwast turn. Tiie » other Novi didn’t get a chance to. qualify as the inebmate weather} ! took care ot that. Another car that has proved it has great speed । >is the new car driven by Sam. I Hanks a real veteran of the 000, 1 mile race. This car, known as the i Beland Special, is radically differ- , i ent than other racers with ! motor mounted on the side to i help give better - balance and is a very low-slung job. Hanks fm^i i second in last year's after hitting the wall eaily in the race. j T THE FIVE ROOKIE DRIVERS ? are Eddie Sachs, who will start in - the front row; Elmer George, son-; 3 in-law of Speedway owner, Tony ‘ H ulman; Mike Magill; Bill ChecsV —7— — - v\vHES7® 51m* Starts at tai *My.

; bout g, who really thrilled the ermvd with a fast qualifying run Sunday. He was bumped tn another car and so he crawled into the car he will pilot in the race, the first time he had set in the car, । and turned in almost 142 mph. IT WAS INTERESTING To note that none of the first four cars in last year’s race made it this year. That, along with such as the Cheesbourg case, makes <ne realize it is the driver of th< car as much a3 the car itself, that determines the ability and speed that will come in the race.
