Changes Make Speedway Safer Cummings Hennn Believe
wild Bill Worried About
Gasoline Limit of
37.5 Gallons.

wild Bill" Cummings, winner of
the 1884 Indianapolis Motor Speed
way race, would like the services of
worrying bureau.
Already working out at the track,
the Indianapolis driver has been
doing some extra brow-furrowing
over the new 375 gallons limit for
the 500-mile grind on Memorial
Day.
wild Bill" who earned the So
briquet by cutting the dangerous
curves short, is known to the trade
as a good customer of the gasoline
men.
That is, Bill presses down on the
accelerator throughout the race,
keeping up steady, fast pace and
using up the gas.
Bill and Cotton Henning, chief
mechanic for the Boyle Valve team,
we're the first ones out in the
Speedway garages this year.
Bill hopes to get his racer in
shape to beat Babe Stapp in being
the first to whirl around the re-
conditioned track. In an effort to
minimize track dangers, the Speed
way management has lowered the
curves and replaced inner retaining
walls in some places with wide sand
aprons
Race Should Re Faster
Bill and Cotton agree that the
changes should make the 1885 race
faster and safer.
The Boyle Valve team is to put
four Miller specials, two 'front.'
wheel and two rear wheel drives, on
the track this year. The racer in
which Billy Arnold won the 1890
race is being reconditioned, and a
$500 Miller engine is being in
stalled in Cummings car.
Cotton predicts that many of the
racers this year will follow stock
car trends and will be moderately
stream lined.
With the weight limit reduced
$50 pounds to 1900 pounds, drivers
can rip out the heavy lead packing
bolted on their light cars.
Tires to Be Changed
An innovation this year is to be
new type racing tire with only two
grooves and tread one-sixteenth of
an inch thick. Experts say that ex-
cess rubber generates heat and
causes the tires to disintegrate.
The track has been reconditioned
with Kentucky asphalt. On the
southwest curve, a low retaining
wall has been built few feet from
the old high wall.
Bill and Cotton are tinkering with
their engines in preparation for the
first run over the track. The first
run at 100-mile- hour pace will
show them how to play the curves
and the straightaways on Memorial
Day.
Bill is pretty concerned about the
gasoline limit, but the prospect of
swinging around the oval track at a
clip that would shock a traffic po-
liceman doesn't bother him at all.

you about them when you meet
