Low Gear Ratios Blamed for Failures in Memorial Day 500
Indianapolis May 31 Lee Wallard won the Memorial Day 500 with a record pace of 126.244 mph as engineers blame gear ratios for engine strain. Louis Meyer of Los Angeles says gear ratios too low caused high revs while Wilbur Shaw contends the wheels’ braking and drivers’ deep turns caused mechanical failures. Only eight cars finished, the smallest field since 1911. Meyer warns of a race with no finishers if engines aren’t protected, and track engineers say gear setups were not suited for the long race. Car owners prohibit changing ratios between qualifying and the race, a rule Shaw says could be dropped if owners favor reform.
