Granatelli says Indy 500 rules block turbo car progress
Auto racing expert Andy Granatelli criticizes USAC Board of Directors for discouraging experimentation at Indianapolis. He touts his turbo car as safer and more efficient, with 80 percent fewer moving parts and no cylinders or crankshafts, claiming it could run years with minimal servicing and lower fuel use. He says manufacturers may adopt turbo technology for the road despite Indy resistance.
