Indianapolis Speedway plans take shape amid vast preparations
An army of workmen transforms prairie into a five mile racing circuit near Indianapolis. The track will feature wide straightaways, gentle banking, dust control, and safety measures. Officials announce grandstands, surveillance stands, garages, and lighting for 24 hour trials, with manufacturers invited to test cars at nominal cost. The project aims to attract national contests and establish Indianapolis as a testing and racing hub.
