	Indianapolis 500
		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.
		With the Indianapolis 500 having been a part of the World Drivers Championship between 1950 and 1960, Ferrari made a discrete appearance at the 1952 event with Alberto Ascari, but European entries were few and far between during those days.
		In the meantime, European manufacturers, gone from the Indianapolis 500 for nearly two decades, made a brief return just before World War II, with the competitive Maserati 8CM allowing Wilbur Shaw to become the first driver to win consecutively at Indianapolis in 1941.

	Clark and Gurney: The Best of Both Worlds
		Another American Grand Prix driver had joined Clark and Gurney as an entrant for the 1965 Indy 500: Masten Gregory, who qualified way back in the last row in 31st position was entered to drive the turquoise blue and white George Bryant Racing Projects BRP-Ford.
		It is difficult to overstate this achievement: of the 10 Championship Grands Prix held in 1965, Clark participated in 9 (forsaking Monaco on May 30th 1965, in favor of Indianapolis on May 31st 1965), and won 6 of them.
		Turning to the principal protagonists of the 1965 Indy 500, Clark and Foyt put on the expected good fight and battled from the drop of the green flag, Clark taking lap 1 and Foyt fighting back to take the lead on lap 2, with Clark tucked in behind Foyt, and Gurney behind Clark.

	Jim Clark's 1965 Formula One season
		He won back the World Championship in Formula One, blitzed the field in the Indianapolis 500, won the Tasman Cup convincingly, won races in the Lotus Cortina and even got the reluctant Lotus 30 sports car over the line first.
		Clark was at his best in 1965 and when we look at the 1.5 litre formula, which ended at the close of the 1965 season, Clark's nineteen-win haul is almost double Hill's ten, and streets ahead of the next best, Surtees and Gurney on three each.
		Jimmy Clark won everything that mattered to him in 1965.

	Bill 'Tosh' Tosheff
		The 71-year-old former pro basketball player, who played for the Indianapolis Olympians and the Milwaukee Hawks from 1951 to 1955, recalls that back then, the National Basketball League paid players about $4,500 a year, or $27,000 by today's standards.
		Pictured in 1952, Tosheff, No.9 with the Indianapolis Olympians, scores two points against Rochester Royal and Hall of Famer Bobby Wanzer.
		Tosheff has spent the past nine years lobbying the NBA to close that loophole and include the pre-1965 three- and four-year players.

		In 1965, Dan and Carroll Shelby got together to form All American Racers -- a predominantly American team to challenge the best of Europe in the Grand Prix circuit and also to take on the challenge of the Indianapolis 500.
		His victory in the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix still stands as a remarkable achievement considering the small size and limited resources of the All American Racers team at the the time.
		Although on an overall basis the Eagle Grand Prix program was not successful, Dan Gurney can justifiably be proud of what he was able to accomplish against the heavily financed factory teams in Europe.

		It took a few years, but the Indianapolis establishment gradually realized the writing was on the wall and the days of their front-engined roadsters were numbered.
		Called the Cooper 500, this car's success on the track instantly created a demand from other drivers (including, over the years, Stirling Moss, Peter Collins and Bernie Ecclestone) and led to the establishment of the Cooper Car Company to build more.
		But when Stirling Moss won the 1958 Argentine Grand Prix in Rob Walker's privately-entered Cooper and Maurice Trintignant duplicated the feat in the next race at Monaco, the racing world was stunned and a rear-engined revolution had begun.
