INDIANAPOLIS (AP)-A cou-
ple of big companies and numer-
ous smaller ones disagree with
criticism that the 300-mile race
at the Indianapolis Motor Speed-
way no longer contributes any-
thing lo the automobile industry
because stock cars don't run here.
The Firestone Tire A Rubber

•ays: . ' » ,
"The findings in the exhaustive
tests at the Indianapolis track,
under the most severe tire tortur-
ing race in the world, provides the
laboratory, the background for
research, the engineering vehicle
the proving ground for modern
passenger tires.”
Rar McMahan, dlreetar of
the Mobile fnel development
center at the Speedway, says
the Speedway historically has
produced acw features used In
peseeager ear* about tl yuan
later.
"A close look at the garage area
will reveal malty secrets ebout the
cars we are going to be driving,”
McMahan assert*. <>
An example is fuel injection,
which has entirely replaced car-
bureatora on the Speedway en-
gines and was proved at the
Speedway by the late Bill Vuko-
vich, killed in last year's race.
Another is torsion bar suspension,
standard in Indianapolis - type
cats and now used by Packard.
In hia own field, fuel engineer
McMahan says: “Racing engines
with exparimental > fuel compo-
nents are laboratories for high
compression problems, fuel injec-
tion syetems, means of getting
more air into the engine, properly
rdlnoving exhaust gases and the
performance of engine materials
at high output ahd high speeds.”
