Mears, favored to win his third Indy 500 after qualifying at 216.828 mph in the Pennzoil "March, didn't participate in Fri- day's session, which featured a 1 20 mph speed limit. "We didn't run because there is nothing for us to learn at those speeds." said Peter Par- rott, crew chief for Mears. Only 24 of the 33 drivers did take some laps on Friday.

Johnny Parsons, Chip Ganassi. Rich Vogler, A rie Luyendyk. Bobby Rahal. Randy Lanier and three- time winners Al Unser and Johnny Rutherford also stayed in the barn. "There was no reason to risk the car.

We were ready to go and we've been out enough to know what the track will be like when the race starts," said Rutherford, who starts in 12th position In the Vermont American March. United States Auto Club officials had threatened, to pull off the track anyone running faster that 120 mph. but no violations were reported. "It was better than nothing, let's put it that way," exclaimed Tom Sneva of the restricted practice. But the 1983 Indy winner added, with a grin, "I was able to lean on the car a couple times, enough so they shook a finger at me.

They wanted us to run less than 75 seconds for a lap. and we did that. But I'm not sure everybody stayed under 1 20 (mph) all the way around." Even with the speed limit, the half hour was helpful for some teams. "It turned out that it was a good thing we did go," said Co-gan. "There were a few things THE 1 1 too badly damaged to run and he switched to the other March 86C in the Foyt stable.

Moreno, a rookie from Brazil who qualified 16th, must start In 32nd position because his original Valvoline Lola was trashed in the accident that eliminated Dennis Firestone from the race altogether. ABC will again attempt to provide the first live telecast, but the race will be blacked out in Indiana. Radio coverage will be provided by WIBC (1070). WIRE (1430) and WTPI-FM (107.9). "When we opened the tents to let them out, the balloons Just settled out all over the ground.

So we ran around and got another 5,000 balloons and we will have a balloon display for the race, though not as elaborate as usual." O'Neal said. Last weekend's crowd, unable to watch race cars, was in a spending mood and the concession and souvenir stands were cleaned out. Cassidy said about 85 of the 115 food concession stands and about half of the 125 souvenir stands have been restocked and will be open. Since this race will be on a Saturday, rather than Sunday, beer will be served. The yellow-shirted Speedway safety crew normally has at least 2,000 volunteers to direct traffic and deal with race-goers' confusion.

O'Neal said he expects at least 1,500 will be back today. An army of more than 150 temporary workers under the command of grounds superintendent Charlie Thompson has cleaned up the empty cans, chicken bones and other refuse from last weekend. Most of the stands looked fairly clear by Friday and some areas of the infield were cleaned up. SuaWyTT "I I VEHICLStCU8irr SYSTEM IN5TAILCD fiSffi ELECTRQNcs I 253-4455 EST. 1973 I 5353 N.

Cassidy said, has been Jumbled a bit and condensed because few of the original celebrities can return for a second weekend. The 74th U.S.

Army Band from Fort Benjamin Harrison will carry most of the musical duties because the high school and college bands have disbanded with the end of the school term, track officials said. The caravan of celebrities seated in Chevrolet Corvette pace car replicas will be brief, made up mostly of the "500" Festival queen and some of her court. Actor David Hasselhoff. the dark-haired star of NBC's Knight Rider, will sing the National Anthem. It was confirmed late Friday that Back Home Again In Indiana will be sung by John Davies, artist in residence with the Indianapolis Opera Co.

The song will be broadcast live nationally by ABC and internationally by the Speedway's radio network. Davies, a Boston native who was reached Friday at his New York state home, said he is "tremendously excited about this opportunity." He has performed for many crowds of all sizes and ages, but never for such a huge broadcast audience. "I was at the Speedway last weekend, slogging through the mud with everyone else. Little did I dream I'd be back this weekend to sing' he said. Meanwhile.

Speedway Safety Director Jack O'Neal lamented the waste of 21.000 helium-filled balloons. With the race postponed, there was no need for a Joyful balloon release last weekend. But eventually they had to be let go.
