Vukovich: the Original Legend - - part one To drive the "Indianapolis 500," in those days, was to submit to four hours of physical torture, as the cars danced over the slippery brick surface, on the main straightaway, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Second year "500" driver and 1949 AAA Champion Johnnie Parsons, the winner of the rain-shortened 1950 "500," was driving one of the smaller dirt track style racers. The heavy front wheel drive racers, which had dominated in the immediate post-war runnings, of the "500," were being challenged and replaced by the smaller designs, which were also raced on the dirt miles, during the rest of the AAA season. www.bjwor.com /970207.html

MotorSport Charity Memorabilia From 1950 to 1960, the Indianapolis 500 race was included for points within the Formula 1 World Championship; to commemorate the race we have included it in our series as the 1952 cover.

Indianapolis 500 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia With the Indianapolis 500 having been a part of the World Drivers Championship between 1950 and 1960, Ferrari made a discreet appearance at the 1952 event with Alberto Ascari, but European entries were few and far between during those days. However, it wasn't until 1993 that reigning Formula One World Champion Nigel Mansell shocked the racing world by moving to the United States, winning the and only losing the 500 in his rookie year because of inexperience with green-flag restarts. In its first season in 1996, the Indy Racing League attracted mainly little known and inexperienced drivers, smaller teams, slower cars, and widespread ridicule as "replacement players". www.beverlyhills.biz /project/wikipedia/index.php/Indianapolis_500   (5296 words)

The Indianapolis 500 is an American race for open-wheel automobiles held annually over the Memorial Day weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana.

Jimmy Bryan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As the Indianapolis 500 counted as a round of the Formula One World championship from 1950 to 1960 his career is credited with participation in 9 grands prix, with 1 win, 3 podiums and 18 championship points scored.

Tony and that first trip For whatever reason the Novis missed the 1950 "Indianapolis 500." But Duke Nalon qualified for pole position for the 1951 "500" with a track record 137.049 mph for one lap and 136.498 mph for four laps. Actually Bettenhausen pioneered the use of the jet pilot style helmet in the 1953 "Indianapolis 500." This was the immediate predecessor to the full-face helmets, which were introduced by Dan Gurney in 1968. In retrospect Pat Flaherty isn't one of the more noteworthy winners of the "Indianapolis 500." Other than his win from pole in the 1956 "Indianapolis 500" he has little else to show from his career. www.bjwor.com /010123.html   (528 words)
