Front Engine
Race Cars Return to the Indianapolis 500
"Return To Glory"
Written By Greg Littleton
Illustrations by Sarah Fields
The Indianapolis 500 is dying. A hole was poked in its soul nearly fifty years ago by unknowing
people who thought that putting the engine behind the driver was progress. Since then life has slowly ebbed from the
great spectacle where fearless men once dueled, somtimes to the death. Like American gladiators, they drove beautiful
chariots before hundreds of thousands of adoring fans in the most amazing arena in the world, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
It
is early June 2010, the Indy 500, held the previous week, had once again been a very competitive race, attended by a
crowd that at one time would have been considered adequate for the first day of Time Trials. The TV ratings have
slipped and more importantly, the aura that once surrounded the great event has diminshed. Last week's race was run with cars
that no one remembers, driven by men and women that few can recall. Next year will be the 100th anniversary of this
American icon. Tom Grey, the owner of the beautiful speedway makes a dramatic decision: "Gentlemen, we are bringing front
engine cars back to the 500."
How can they do it? Will their plan work?
Will they be able to make the "Return to Glory?"
