Arle Luyendyk Is not Just pretty, but pretty dang fast; ditto for teammate Eddie (A)Cheever. The pride of Monrovia, Gary Betten-hausen, gives us a Hoosier rooting Interest.

And don't forget Al Unser who took a jump forward (to 228-plus) Friday. But, as has happened so many times, the men to beat have been Just that beaten come 6 o'clock. History has shown that the Happy Hour hotfeet often come back to the field, sometimes way back In the field. That's why, even though he's been far off the pace and just three days removed from a horrific crash, you can't overlook a smokin' Marlboro man like Rick Mears. Friday, back in his machine after spending a day recovering from his crash "It felt like a truck ran over me," Mears said last year's pole-sitter and winner left no doubt that his competitive Juices were back in simmering mode.

Asked what position on the starting grid would be unsatisfactory, Mears replied, "Second." And no one knows better what It takes to stick his machine up front than the capable Californian, who has paced this race more times (six) than anyone else. "It's going to be the luck of the draw, what the weather does," Mears said. "There are some guys who definitely are going to be strong, but you never know until it happens. To me, you're In the hunt until It's over. "There's no such thing as a perfect run but It has to be as perfect as you can make it for that given day." And no man has shown to be more perfectly suited to such an effort than Rick Mears.

7011 E. 86th St. ES2' 842-1768 Ld Continued from Page 1 drettl, who definitely has not been sandbagging, as Friday's message-sending lap of 233.202 second fastest of the month stated emphatically. "Usually If someone is sandbagging, it's because they've got a problem they're trying to dis- guise. "What it comes down to is, when you're out there on the line, you give It all you've got." But at Indy, more than any-where else, the payoff on the pole is substantial, both in terms of real greenbacks PPG tosses in 100 grand for the pole winner, more than the majority of Indy-! Car races pay to win and by the way of an incalculably valuable public-relations bonanza.

And if practice form holds the top nine speeds have been powered by Buicks or Ford-Cos-worths you can hear the hype already. If you intend to dive into the first turn at 240 mph, wouldn't you really rather have a Bulck? Have you driven a Ford lately at a lap of 233? And Is the heartbeat of America Chevy in need of a pacemaker? We shall see. But if the weather holds the forecast is for cool temps and overcast skies there is little doubt that this will be the fastest qualifying day in Speedway history, and that Tom Carnegie's "It's a new track record" could become a broken record. Cars have been so fast you're not sure whether they come into the pits or are cleared for landing. Jim Crawford and Roberto Guerrero have turned Kenny Bernstein's machines into dragsters that make left turns.

Rick Mears, Emerson Fittipaldi and Paul Tracy, the developmental Chevy Indy V8-B engines, while nearly 20 other drivers. Including many of the big rookie crop, are getting the Chevy-A. "We have built a business plan to reach this level," said Paul Morgan, co-founder of Ilmor. "We now have the capability to machine the required jJarts to support the effort of this size." LATE MODELS SPORTSMAN STAR STAFF REPORT Last year, one of the stories at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was that there were not enough of the dominating Chevrolet Indy V8 engines to go around.

Teams and drivers wifhout the Chevy powerplant were complaining that the teams with It had an unfair advantage and that Chevy and engine manufacturer Ilmor Engineering were playing favorites in selling the program. This month, however, there seem to be plenty of Chevys to go around.
