Having grown up in Indianapolis, I know that race cars go around counterclockwise. BTW: here is a bit more information about this particular Studebaker: "This 1932 Studebaker Indy Car is one of five factory team cars which raced in 1932 and 1933. Driven in the 1932 Race by Pete Kreis, running 7th at 450 miles when a tire blew. It finished 12th while another team car finished 3rd. The engine is a 336 cubic-inch Straight 8 Studebaker President rated at 200 horsepower. Top speed is over 140 mph, which it accomplished in 1932." -- Regards, Savageduck |

See http://www.studegarage.com/indycar1.htm "Top speeds were about 120-130 mph" which makes me wonder about the 140 mph. Certainly there was enough power but the gearing would have to be changed. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

So there could have been some tuning upgrades for 1932. Certainly there was enough power but the gearing would have to be changed. ....and that might well have been the case. -- Regards, Savageduck |
