Monday, June 21, 1971 THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS Pagt 27 (wmuciiituii Roller Coaster' Awaits 500 Action a ST 'A 'A AM 'I 4 4 at fit By BLOYS DRITT AP Sports Writer Al Unser calls it a "roller coaster" course, and that may be the reason only three drivers got their cars on the new Pocono International Raceway at Mount Pocono, during the first two days of practice. Most drivers entered in the July 3 500, a $400,000 event that is the mid-point of championship racing's "triple crown," said their machines either weren't ready for the first weekend of shakedown runs, or hadn't arrived. But Unser, a double Indianapolis 500 winner and current leader in the USAC point standings by a whopping 1,180 points, wasn't really critical of the $6 million facility that Allison Iekx rt A -V-t aW, Ma. opened for the first time Saturday. "It needs a bit of seasoning," the dark-haired, 32-year-old, youngest of two driving broth' ers from Albuquerque, N.M., said.

"Right now, I'd be concerned with some very definite ripples that you experience in the surface in the third turn. Maybe, with the right suspension on the car you wouldn't day and Sunday. There were several winners crowned over the weekend. Jackie Ickx won yesterday's Dutch Grand Prix in a Ferrari at Zandvoort, Bobby Allison won NASCAR's 400-mile test at Riverside, and Jim McElreath captured r-day's USAC 100-mile dirt track contest at Nazareth, Pa. Ickx lapped everybody but second-place finisher Pedro Rodriguez' BRM.

Clay Redaz-zoni was third in a Ferrari. Andretti lasted only three laps in his Ferrari. Allison and his electronic hel-m survived 100-degree-plus temperatures to win NASCAR's feature. It was Allison's fourth victory in a row, The racing gentleman from Hueytown, his 1970 Dodge around Riverside International Raceway's 2.6-mile road course at an average speed of 93.491 miles per hour and was never in trouble. Using a two-way radio from his car to the pits, Allison was in almost constant touch with his crew, who told him of the accidents on the track, where to drive to avoid trouble and how his car looked on the turns and straightaways.

Ray Elder of Caruthers, driving a '71 Dodge, captured second place, less than a lap behind and Cecil Gordon, Arden, N.C., was third, six laps A TAILOR-MADE LEON SUIT 1' I I i IIIiSpilllliiHpllilll is the answer to those difficult problems so many of us have!

HARNESS RACING notice it. Bill i of Hermosa Beach, tookseveral dusty laps in his Wynn's turbo-charged Eagle-Offy and also complained of the bumps in the sweeping third turn. "You probably wouldn't feel the ripples in a passenger car, with its soft suspension," he "But with the stiffer undercarriage of a race car, they're enough to worry you. I'd say this is going to be a wild race track until the drivers get used to it." The other drivers who got in some shakedown laps were Jerry Grant, of Seattle and Jim alloy of Denver. Malloy, fourth place finisher in the May 30 Indianapolis 500, had yesterday's top lap speed, 152.723 miles per hour.

Unser, his brother Bobby, and top entries A. J. Foyt, Mark Donohue, Mario Andretti, Lloyd Ruby and McLaren team driver Pete Revson said they expected to begin shakedown runs tomorrow or Wednesday.
