Description: Starting with a brief history of the Indianapolis 500 from 1911, with a full chapter on the "Junk Formula" of the 1930s, this book concentrates on the 1960s, the widest decade, that began with Offy powered Roadsters dominant and ended with rear-engined cars supreme, powered by turbocharged engines. Turbine cars, DOHC Fords and turbocharged Offys and Fords plus a number of stock-block engines provided a challenge to the big Offy fours that had won as they liked through the 1950s. It`s a great read and describes a truly wild period in Indianapolis 500 History.
