CHANGES IN SPEEDWAY RULES IN
 192OANNOUNCED

INDIANAPOLIS, July 2O.-Specifi- cations announced for the 1920 500- mile race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway foreshadOw sweeping changes in the field of automobile rac- ing with vitally important conse- quences affecting the trend of auto motive design in general predicted as certain to follow. The specifications were decided upon after an exhaustive investigation as to the line of develop ment that promised to be of greatest benefit to automotive progress, in vOlVing consultation with engineers and manufactors both in this country and in Europe, and are expected to prove an impetus that will result in the discovery of startling new and i'm proved principles of gasoline locomo- ton, blazing the trail to the ultimate car combining roominess and comfort with light weight and low operating and upkeep cost.
 The detailed specifications are as follows: Piston displacement, 183 cub ic inches; minimum weight, 1700 pounds, with no ballast allowed, standard tread. 56 inches, deats may be staggared inches; right hand drive: qualifying speed. average of so
 
 10 miles.
 These specifications, though few and simple, are nevertheless all em- bracing in their scope directing the activity of automobile racing designers into entirely new channels, at the same time imposing no restrictions on their inventive ability within the limits as signed. The problem now is to pro- duce a car with greater engine effic- iency than ever before, the high speed required coupled with small engine size setting a task to test the skill of the worlds greatest designers; at the same time requiring them to build a car that will be a practicable, road worthy vehicle in every sense. capa- ble of application to the field of pas senger car construction, this feature being insured by the minimum weight restriction of 1700 pounds, and the provision for a standard tread.
 The regulation permitting the stag gering of the seats is to give the driv- CT more room, at the same time per- hitting the body to be made as mar row as possible to reduce wind resist ance, also to move the mechanic back where he can observe three of the four tires, the two in the rear and the left front. Right hand drive is specified inasmuch as on speedways cars always pass to the right and left hand drive would therefore be dangerous.
 The Speedway's announcement pre- cludes all chance of converted light cars now in existence being entered for the 1920 classic, cars of this type being considered incapable of produc- ing anything of profit to the advance ment of automobile design, and benig effectually barred by the restrictions e governing speed and minimum weight A fresh infusion of inventive discov- cry into the field of engineering knowledge is what the Indianapolis speedway seeks 10 stimulate and it's 1920 specifications have been carefully drawn with this in view.
