	"500" forecast; looking ahead on opening day
		While he was one of the strongest CART runners, during the early 1990's, Paul Tracy had terrible luck in his four "Indianapolis 500" appearances from 1992 through 1995 finishing 20th, 30th, 23rd and 24th respectively.
		Looking back on the 85th "Indianapolis 500" last May, I remember thinking Dismore was on his way to victory during the second third of the race before gearbox problems put him in the pits and laps behind.
		I have no doubt Arie Luyendyk has it in him to win another "Indianapolis 500." Look in the record books and you'll find the Dutchman has been one of the most stellar performers in the history of the "Indianapolis 500" and his two victories only tell part of the story.

		With the Le Mans 24 hour and the Indianapolis 500, the Monte-Carlo Rally and the Monaco Grand Prix constitute two of the four great automobile sports events most known to the world at large.
