lieveS the classic will be re-
etvcd.- He points out that the
lessons learned in the race
played an important part in
giving the nation the finest mo-

As examples, Frazer sale,
four-wheel brakes were first

straight eight engine was de-
veloped by the Dusenberg
brothers for use at Indianapolis
in 1920 the rear view mirror
was used by Ray Harroun in
winning the first race in 1911;
balloon tires, ethyl gas and
other developments were first
tested over the 500-mile grind.
Frazer said the public is un-
aware of many general mechan-
