SIZE OF RACING
CARSFOR 1929
is UNDECIDED
Failure to Cut PiStonS viii
Break Every Three
Year Precedent.

Whether the 1929 motor specifl-
cations for entrants in the 5OO-mile
race will contain a further reduc-
ton of piston displacement depends
entirely upon whether it is decided
that the motor industry is thus best
served, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker,
Indianapolis Motor Speedway presi-
dent, stated today.
Every third year a change has
been made in the motor specif1ca-
tons. and each time the piston dis
placement has been reduced. The
present size of 9112 cubic inches,
used in the cars racing Wednesday,,
has been in force since 1926.
Should precedent be followed, new
specifications, with even smaller
piston displacement, will be the rule.
At the first race in 1911 the pis-
ton displacement was 600; 1918, $50;
~1915, 300; 1920, 1873; 1922, 122.
This is the year when a change
is expected" the Speedway preA-
dent said, "but I am confident that
if a change is made, it will be made
as a matter of service to transporta-
ton rather than as following a
precedent.
Eddie Edenburn, representative of
the contest board of the A. A. A.
also indicated that the public in
terest would be served in determin-
ing for or against a change in motors
next year.
While the A. A. A. will hand down
the actual decision, such decision
will be withheld until race drivers
automotive engineers, speedway Off
Gals and others interested have
expressed their views to the contest
