Barney Oldfield continued: "The track was built with this idea in view. (To test driving skill and car stamina.) Consequently, instead of two great ends with uniform curving, the track is four-cornered, with four straight curves and a short straightaway between the two corners that go to make up each end. This cuts down the average speed, but it makes for thrilling racing."
Racing at the Indy track has led to engineering breakthroughs that are in your family vehicle such as disc brakes, independent suspension, high-mileage radial tires and fuel-injection.
I have been to this race the last five years. We sit high above the track in what is called the catwalk between the 1st and 2nd turns.
Always a Great Time. --DaVroomer
