"Those were the best four laps I've done around this place," said Prappas, who crashed twice and broke his right foot last May. "I was going to go home tomorrow, but now I get to stay. I'm gonna be happy for the rest of my life." Prappas' run bumped Scott Goodyear, but actually it knocked Mike Groff out of the richest race in the world: Groff qualified Goodyear's backup car Saturday, and the team had planned to switch cars and start from the back on Race Day.

Johncock bumped Vasser, the slowest qualifier in the field. But Vasser spent only about 15 minutes out of his first Indy grid. He roared back to post the fastest rookie speed ever, 222.313, in the Kodalux '91 LolaChevy-A. "We had been prepared for a week to be bumped.

I was Just happy we were bumped early," said Vasser, who was impressive in his oval-track debut last month at Phoenix. "We were confident we could put our backup car in, but it was still the longest week of my life." Vasser's run bumped Momota. Dobson, who didn't get an engine in his Burns Racing '91 LolaChevy-A until last Thursday, did a nice Job of making his fifth Indy 500 by posting two laps over 221 and averaging 220.359 mph. "I was scared to death of hitting the wall if 1 went too fast," Dobson replied when asked why his last lap dropped to 218.

The Gas Man. who missed his first start last year after 17 straight, almost knocked the walls down in a Saturday effort but finally got dialed in Sunday.

Because STAR STAFF PHOTO Shirley Bettenhausen watches husband Tony's unsuccessful qualifying attempt evening, Chief Steward Tom Bin-ford announced: "This rule is not in the rule book at the present time and not in the entry blank.

Under current rules, it's not specifically illegal to use an engine previously used in a qualified car." Binford hinted that may change next year. Walker commented: "After reading the rule book, we had no grounds for a protest." Teamkar, whose driver Kenji Momota had qualified and been he's changing cars, Goodyear must start 33rd. Groff, last year's fastest rookie, will now be a spectator. However, for a while it looked like Groff still had a shot at running following a post-qualifying protest by Teamkar and Walker Racing. Those two protested Johncock's run of 219.288 in Ron Hemelgarn's STPJack's Tool '91 LolaBulck because he had used the same engine to qualify as Buddy Lazier did on the opening weekend.
