No Change in 1914 Indianapolis 600 Mile Piston Limit
Indianapolis speedway president Carl G. Fisher declares the piston displacement limit remains at 450 cubic inches for the 1914 600 mile race. Changes to rules aim to curb an oil soaked track, with steering knuckles and tie rods required 48 hours before the race and aluminum steering wheels banned. Oil quantity will be limited but liberal. Foreign competitors depart East Coast after the 500 mile event with prizes and cups heading to France.
