Turbines Pose Major Threat in Fast Indianapolis 500 Trials
The 2nd annual Holiday 500 at Indianapolis posted a 750000 payoff with a 33-car field and a record average speed near 165 mph. Turbine engines, led by two fastest entries driven by Joey Leonard and Graham Hill, loom as the big threat despite Ford and Offenhauser edge. Rain delayed trials, final carburation today, drivers meeting Wednesday, and rookie Mike Mosley set the pace at 162.499 mph among qualifiers.
