Drivers Aim For
150 MPH Laps
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPD -The
man who built the fastest
cur in Saturday's 500-milo Mem
orial Day race predicted today
"we're on tho threshold of 150
miles per hour laps" , at the
Speedway.
Actually, said little Lujie Lcsov
sky of Los Angeles, such speeds
were a possibility this year, but
the weather was too cold and (00
windy.
"A lot of the fellows say no
150 mile speeds arc possible with
tho present equipment," said Le
sovsky, "but on a perfect day I
think it's possible." ..
Paul Russo in o Novi holds the
race lap record of slighlly better
than 144 m.p.h. The race record
of 135.601 wns set by Sam Hanks
two years no r. '
A "perfect" day at the Sced
wny Includes hot weather, plenty
of fust practice laps to put rubber
on the surface for bctler traction,
and no or only negligible wind.
"If we had been blessed with
continued hot weather," said
Lcsovsky ",the race truck might
have been ideal and I think the
entire front row would have been
at least two miles an hour faster."
Johnny Thomson won the pole
position .in Isovsky's brand-new
"Side-Wheeler," n low-slung road
ster with Its 4-cyIimlcr engine
laid over. His overage speed of
just under 146 m p.h. lopped the
33 slmlers.
