Frames speed cracked Peter De
Paolo's old record for 500 miles OF
l0l.l3 miles an hour. and in doing
it made four pit stops, a remarkable
record for winning driver. The
winner in the Indianapolis race
usually makes only one pit stop

less than a minute, one was for a
minute and still another for two
minutes.
AT the 50-mile mark. Frame was

eight seconds ahead OF Frame. At
375 miles the margin between the

at 400 miles Fred was out in front.
Red-HOt Finish
How well Frame judged his pace
is revealed by the fact that at 425
miles he was forty seconds ahead
