SUNDAY, APRIL 29, 1979- THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR SEC. 2 PAGE 3 REJECTED TEAMS COULD FIND HELP AMOXG THEIU OWN A CART Strikeout Won't The Game End those guys want to come to Irtdy, but it ever, Mehl claims this won't prompt them to step in and "suggest" that USAC let their teams and the other four get to run. "If we were in a competitive situation with Firestone and our teams were barred, then that would be different," he said. "Eventually we'll have to do something if the conflicting dates (Milwaukee and Trenton, for instance) stay the same, but right now we'll just see what happens." ANOTHER POSSIBLE stumbling block for the Speedway was the television money, which makes up half its million dollar purse. Neither of the two USAC races in 1979 have been televised because it always has had to guarantee ABC 15 of the top 20 drivers from the previous season.

However, IMS negotiates its contract with ABC and Jim Spence, vice-president of ABC sports, relayed the But, what's to prevent Penske from selling Hillin one of his new ground-effects PC-7s for one month at the bargain price of $1, with Bobby Unser as the driver, Gould as the sponsor, Penske's usual mechanics as the tuners and Hillin serving as the "owner?" "I honestly never thought about it," claims Penske. "No comment," replied United States Auto Club President Richard King. Well, as far as the common writer can figure, nothing would prevent this little transaction from taking place. A FEW YEARS ago, the Speedway use to-stamp the engine and chassis of every machine to prevent the same car from being qualified twice. However, this regulation has been done away with and it's almost obvious this particular path is open should the CART boys want to take it.

For instance, the third to last line in the Speedway entry list has David Rogers Racing as the car name, but no TF THE REJECTED six Championship Auto Racing Teams strike out in court this week, they'll be faced with a few alternatives. Buy tickets and watch. Run a race of their own on the same day. Turn to their fellow CART mem-. bers for help.

Since the first two don't seem likely, let's investigate that third option. IF DAN GURNEY, Pat Patrick, Roger Penske, Jim Hall, Tyler Alexander and Bob Fletcher aren't allowed to enter their cars in next month's Indianapolis 500, it still doesn't mean the gate to Gasoline Alley is permanently shut. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway entry blank stipulates that entries and garages cannot be transferred. In other words, CART owner Bobby Hillin can't sell one of his two entries to Penske, even though Hillin only intends to run Tom Bagley at the Speedway. the Indianapolis 500 (delayed) on the evening of May 27 and we will live by it lot of people have wondered why 4-cylinder competitors like Gus Hoffman and Pat Santello continue to remain so loyal to CART's cause.

One rumor has them all getting Cosworths for their patriotism. Loquasto is teamming up with Spike Gehlhausen at Indy and will again be sponsored by American Rustproofing with the Geissler Corporation of Indianapolis as an associate backer. Jewelers of Terre Haute will present the winner of Saturday's 10th annual Hulman Classic with a $1,400 diamond ring. driver Bud Tinglestad is resting in room 1506 of Community Hospital awaiting knee surgery and would probably appreciate a card or call. Another ex-shoe, the irrep-resible Jigger Sirois, is recovering from a back operation up at Hammond.

Wally Meskowski, the veteran mechanic who was paralyzed in a highway accident two weeks ago, has been transferred to St. Vincent's Hospital. would be a way. ONE POSSIBLE savior for the "Rejected Six" is staying out of the fight. Even though the teams of Patrick, Penske, Team McLaren and Hall are subsidized by Goodyear, racing director Leo Mchl says the Akron tire firm won't take sides.

"We didn't start the fight and we don't intend to finish it," responded Mehl. "Our neutral position was based on long experience in this business where we've viewed many problems of this type. But I don't ever recall one reaching this type proportion." Goodyear wasn't to enthralled with USAC last year after the England and Atlanta races were added to the schedule without USAC ever bothering to check the tire company's budget. And there's no doubt that Goodyear is definitely the most powerful group in Indy-car racing today since there's nobody else. How chassis or engine is listed.

It could be an Eagle, McLaren, Parnelli, Lightning or Antares for all anybody knows or cares. Even though all the CART entries are identified, it doesn't take much logic to match up the switches. Of the 28 eligible CAT entries, only 22 or 23 are actually rolling cars and there are 16 drivers ticketed for duty. So that leaves 12 spots for the six banished teams, which boast eight drivers Al and Bobby Unser, Johnny Rutherford, Gordon Johncock, Steve Krisiloff, Wally Dallenbach, Mike Mosley and Rick Mears. It certainly wouldn't be the way any -of toliowing message when queried on this subject.

"The major building project this year," Charlie said, "was the new fourth floor of the VIP suites. We're finished with the construction and are beginning to move in the furniture." The top floor contains six new suites, all of which have been leased at $30,000 each. Actually, there are no new tenants. Everybody who was on the third floor just moved upstairs.

Suites on the second floor lease for $10,000. Overall, the Speedway withstood the rigors of the winter rather well. "WE'RE FINISHING UP a lot of maintenance on things like seat boards in the stands and the usual painting," Charlie said.

"But the track itself didn't require a thing. "We've revamped Gate 9A, making it a bit wider. With Georgetown Road being made into a four-lane, the gate has been changed to accommodate more traffic." The bridge construction which has created a detour of Georgetown between 25th and 30th Streets is scheduled to be completed Tuesday, according to Charlie. Thompson, who makes the garage assignments for the competitors, has not as yet made any assignments, saying that the USAC-CART dispute is holding it up a little. When garages are assigned, there will be a variety of equipment moving in, with the V-8 Cosworth powerplants and the four-cylinder Offys dominating the area.

Entered are 40 turbocharged Cos-worths and 37 turbo Offys. The normally aspirated stock block contingent numbers seven, and there are a couple of turbo stock blocks. THERE ALSO IS a sprinkling of the new Drake V-8s and a lone blown V-12, a Voelker which was built back in the 1930s. It is owned by Bob Olmsted and mounted in an Eagle chassis. On practice days and on qualification days other than pole day, May 12, the gates to the Speedway open at 9 a.m.

On pole day, they open at 6. CHARLIE THOMPSON Superintendent Of Grounds On the coming weekend and weekday practice days, the track will be open to eligible cars and drivers from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Qualification days constitute a bit of a mixed schedule.
