An estimated 850000 fans were on hand at India ana nlis Saturday for the 48th running of the lndianlt apolis 500ml auto race Thousands more watched the event on closed circuit television at theatres throughout Canada and the Unlted States was one of the theatre audience and although impressed dont helieveld go out of my way to see another one couldnt helpleaving with the impression that the sgveral top drivers who were forced out of the race were not given fair chance It wasnt their inability which caused them to quit the cars the were driving didnt have the staying power IF You CAN imagine Bruce Kidd running race hut forced to quit because his shoe fell off Mickey Mantle ready to teeoff on waisthlgh fast hall and have his bat break in two or Gordie Howegetting set for shot on goal only to have the blade of his stick fall off then you get the idea of what mean The flaming pileup which caused the deaths of Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald was something else again it was tragic scenehut its what most of the people went to see the race for The theatre coverage was excellent and even at that most of the people in the theatre was at took several breaks during the showing We had the ad vantage of cameras allover the track also in the it and had interviews to watch cant imagine kick the fairs at the track got by sitting and watch ing these cars whiz their eyes every minute THE START of race is excitinmut once the cars get straightened away theres no to do but hit and wonder if theres going to be crash or if the cars will stand the pace One driver gets into the lead hes out therefor long time Only four diff erenidrivers held the lead in Saturdays race and three of these lost it because their cars failed Foyt was the winner in his Offenhausera car which wasnt supposed to make showing at all because of the supposedly superior LotusFord ent ries Only Roger Ward the runnerup was success ful in driving Ford the full distance BOBBY MARSHMAN and Jimmy Clark were the cofavorites Clark shot into an early lead but became an early victim of the inadequate Fords as the left rear wheel suspension collapsed Then Marshman took the lead but had to quit after 35 laps when he sheared off an oil tank plug Last years winner Parnell Jones moved into first place but the fuel tank on his car exploded and he was fortunate to escape with only minor burns Foyt had everything his own way the rest of the way 146 laps to be exact and watching one car leading the rtest for 146 of 200 laps isnt my idea of excite men Roger Ward closed in on Hoyt for while buthad to make five pit stops compared with two by Foyt and this could have meant the difference between first and second place finish for Ward WHEN GO to see professional teams or athletes in action like to watch the best in this race the three top drivers wereon the sidelinesbecaiise their cars failed Shooting down the straightaway at 180 miles per hour or into the turns at 150 miles per hour may he great thrill if youre behind the wheel But to watch 200 laps of it doesnt leave anything special With me The winner receives finenpay day but the manu facturers receive millions of do are worth of publicity Millions of people watched it and they cant all be wrong But anyor all of them would have hard time convincing me that the best driver will win probationersasorsrrnfnra Bin hay minis Bohbett and man
