And while Krisiloff is new with us this year, he's a charger. He'll be right up there." Deluxe Shallow Well Jet Pump By (JKOUGK MOOKK George Bignotti, the most successful chief mechanic in the history of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, told a sports luncheon audience at the Indianapolis Tress Club yesterday, "They've already allocated the money to Foyt for qualifying at the Speedway providing he can complete four laps." UitfnoUi, who is the crew chief for throe Patrick racing team STP Offys driven by defending 500 champion Gordon Johncoik, Wally Dallen-bach and Steve Krisiloff, was not throwing in the towel as far as getting ready for the race was concerned.

He merely was 1 a i i to the group that with the lower tur-bocharger pressure required during qualification attempts SAVE 835 Mil Salt Saving Water Softener Regular $294.99 the Foyt V-8 engine had a power advantage. The V-8 pumps more, air than a four in normally aspirated form, and with lower boost pressures former three-time 500 winner A. J. Foyt appears to have more speed than drivers using the four-cylinder Offy. THIS RACE, however, Is a different matter.

The mandatory 80 Inches of mercury manifold pressure do not apply for the 500. The limitations are the need to obtain 1.8 miles per gallon of fuel In order to go the distance on the allocated 280 gallons. "We're trying some things for more speed," Bignotti said. "But we're not putting all our emphasis on grabbing the pole. "We'll run as fast as we can and still get the mileage we need." With three championship races under their belts, racing teams have garnered some experience with fuel consumption, and Bignotti said that this has helped everybody.

"We have a sight gauge on the side of our tanks," he said, "so we know just how much fuel we are using at each pit stop. At the Speedway, I'd say we'll have to stop about every 27 laps." lit I (-J .4 '1 4 St Bignotti voiced approval of the appointment of Tom Bin-ford as the new chief steward and his having former chief steward Harlan Fenglcr in an advisory capacity. "Binford is very qualified," George said. "He's been around racing a long time. He knows the business.

"And he has an experienced man in Fengler. I would guess if there is a final decision to be made about something Binford will make it. If Fengler makes it, Binford is there to back him up." There will not be any time for social activities in the garage area this year, as the track opens on Monday and the first of only two days of qualifying will take place the following Saturday. The five-day practice period may make it a little hard on the rookies, but Bignotti didn't expect it to work any great hardship on the teams ho came ready to race. "The biggest problem will be the weather," he said.

"But if we get four or five good days, we'll be ready to go." iAVE s8 Regular Add the convenience of soft water to your home and save at Sears! Save on operating costs, too.

"We do it during tire testing. And the rookies are going to be required to run about 190 mph. "Foyt may run 191.5 or 192," Bignotti said, "but that will be about the fastest." The new look at the Speedway in the interest of safety will also make it easier for contestants in the pits. The pit area has been exiended almost to the No. 4 turn and Bignotti said that this will give approximately 40 feet per car.
