"You see a lot of people's speed change in the aerodynamics of the cars and the changes in the track." Sullivan said. "You saw Arie, who had the fastest time of the month, and they made a few changes and (the speed) was gone." Raul Boesel qualified at a speed average of 222.379. Scott Goodyear, who finished 43-thou-sandths of a second behind winner Al Unser Jr.

last May, qualified at 222.344. Al Jr. made it today at 221.773. Four-time 500 champion Al Unser was called in on his fourth lap after a 214.592 third circuit. Veteran Gary Bettenhausen, attempting to qualify for his 21st race, turned laps in the 217, 219 No.

The car's nose barely missed the wall and the right side wheels lifted as the spin continued. The rear end then banged the concrete. When the car came to a halt, Bettenhausen unhooked the steer- ing wheel and climbed out.

He rode to the hospital in the front seat of the ambulance. Bettenhausen's speed average for three laps was 218.484. Mario Andretti, who was No. 2 in the qualifying list, had the fastest lap in the first practice session, 225.096. Rookie Stephan Gregoire made a significant jump in speed in the Nigel Mansell could make it three.

The British driver was one of the serious contenders for the coveted inside front-row starting position for the May 30 race. Winning the pole is worth $100,000 and two weeks of magnified publicity. Mansell, who had back surgery 10 days ago, arrived at the track Tuesday night and went through his rookie test Wednesday. But by Friday, he had his No. 5 Lola-Ford Cosworth sweeping around the 2'2-mile oval at nearly 225 mph.

He ran too fast this morning to back out." Since Indianapolis Motor Speedway racing resumed after World War II, only two rookies have won the race pole.

This has been my life." His voice broke with emotion as he addressed the press. "Thank you, I love you all, and I'll probably be nicer now that I'm out of the car," he said. Foyt, 58, won the 500 in 1961, 1964, 1967 and 1977. Mario Andretti, another of the longtime competitors at the speedway, became the first qualifier. "That's life," he said of Foyt.

During his career, Foyt won seven national driving championships, a record 67 Indy car races, the Daytona 500 and the 24 Hours of LeMans. circuit of the track that made him famous. It was an emotional start to a day of speed. Gordon, who drives for Foyt, cried in the pits as Foyt told of his decision. "The guy's wonderful," Gordon said.

Foyt, who started his unprecedented string of 35 straight 500-Mile Races in 1958, practiced in the morning and turned a final hot lap of 221.114 mph. "It's hard to give up something you love," he said. "It's hard to give up your fans. "It was just a bang, bang, bang. It was a typical A.J.

"I made this decision when Robby (Gordon) hit the wall (in practice) this morning. Like I said, there comes a time. I love ya all. Thank you."

Rickenbacker, it has been said, ran the place like a hobby.

Hulman may have been a sportsman, but he also was a shrewd businessman. From 1945 until 1954, when he was killed in a private airplane accident, Shaw served as president. During his tenure at the track, he convinced Hulman to spend millions of dollars. It wasn't easy getting the old place in shape for the first post-World War II race in 1946. The American Automobile Association sanctioned American auto racing at the time.

The race was put together hastily. There were no new racing cars, but the competitors got old cars out of barns all over the country. The Indiana National Guard helped Hulman and Shaw. Indeed, the best credential that year was a "military pass." This was a forerunner of today's little silver badge that permits competitors, media and other racing people wide access at the sprawling racecourse. The four-year war had prevented the manufacture of new racing cars, and the layoff made drivers rusty.

Eventually, the track was resurfaced with asphalt, save for a traditional "yard of bricks" at the startfinish line. When the AAA decided to get out of auto racing in 1955, Hulman, who became speedway president when Shaw died, gathered the sport's leaders and formed the United States Auto Club, which still sanctions the race. Hulman surrounded himself with good, devoted people. Under his leadership, the old wooden grandstands were replaced, one by one, with modern concrete and steel stands. The entire place was modernized.

A marvelous museumoffice complex was built, and now race fans can walk through the history of the sport. Most of the winning cars are on display. Now the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is indeed one of the great showplaces of sport. There are permanent seats for about 300,000 fans, and the attendance on race day is estimated at 400,000. Grandstands ring the track, save for the backstretch.

A motel was built on the grounds. High-priced suites were first built outside the second turn. Later, suites were added high atop the stands both outside and inside the main stretch. In the past year more work has been done. The walls have been rebuilt constructed to accommodate a second race, a NASCAR 400-miler, in August 1994.

Warm-up lanes have been installed in both the north and south chutes. Rumble strips have been added below the white line to keep cars on the racing surface. And, the speedway's 27 holes of golf have been transformed into a championship 18-hole layout, which includes two lakes. Hulman's theories on racing have been continued, most recently by his grandson, Tony Hulman George. The late Mr.

Hulman always felt spectators should have a hands-on feeling when they were at the track. As a result, they were (and still are) allowed to get close to the garage and pit areas. Too close, some think. Everything that has been done and really the only thing left that was there when Hulman bought it 48 years ago is the ground has been done with the spectators in mind. The place has kept pace with the Increase in speed.

After all, Cliff Bergere won the pole for that 1946 race in one of the famous Novis at 128.471 mph. A year ago Roberto Guerrero sat on the pole at more than 100 mph faster 232.482.

A king-sized traffic jam frayed the nerves of everyone concerned, but all was soon forgotten when a dark horse, George Robson, drove a nine-year-old Thorne Electrical Engineering Special to victory at an average speed of 114.820 mph. Parts fell out of cars along the main straightaway and only seven cars went the distance. At the time the speedway was the only big brick and asphalt track in the United States. Dirt tracks had taken over racing.

But the speedway's new owners built new concession stands and fences, as well as greatly increasing seating capacity. The speedway continued to have troubles in 1947, although they were of a different variety. Drivers, owners and mechanics had formed an organization called the American Society of Professional Auto Racing "for the purpose of promoting and fostering the best interests of racing." Early in '47 ASPAR decided the speedway wasn't cutting the drivers and owners in on enough money. ASPAR wanted a $150,000 purse instead of the $75,000 offered. Neither side would budge.

ASPAR even threatened to run a rival race on Memorial Day. To make a long and confused story short, a compromise was reached and by race day it was a big happy family again. The purse was upped to $147,000. The wave of happiness faded quickly as Mauri Rose drove Lou Moore's Blue Crown Special to victory because of the famous "EZY" signal given to teammate Bill Holland late in the race. Holland was leading; when he slowed up, Rose was able to win.

"It was the lousiest deal I ever got," cried Holland. "The first time I knew I didn't win was when I pulled Into the pits and heard the man on the loud speaker say 'Holland Moore said he had no preference between his drivers.
