INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
The 33 drivers who will start
Sunday’s 62nd Indianapolis
5-mile race are on edge.

The nearly month-long
period of prepping for the
world’s richest auto race
always is filled with anxiety.
But, this year it was even
worse than usual because of
incessant rain that ham-
pered practice, wiped out
one complete weekend of
qualifying and dampened
everyone’s spirits.

“It’s been rougher than I
can ever remember,” said
Bobby Unser, winner of the
Memorial Day event in 1968
and 1975.

“We waited to practice, we
waited to qualify ... and now
we're waiting for the race.
We just haven't been able to
do the things we've wanted
to.”

The .wait will be over,
weather permitting, at 11
a.m. EDT Sunday. The only
real problem remaining is
that weather forecasts call
for about a 40 per-cent
ehance of rain.

In recent years, there have
been almost as many eyes,
at any given moment,
peering skyward as there
were watching the colorful,
roaring racers wheel over
the 2%-mile asphalt Indy
oval.

FIVE SHORTENED

Only five Indianapolis
races have been shortened
by rain, the first in 1950. But
the last three have been in
the last five vears.

There was a general
feeling of relief when last
year’s race went the
distance, with A.J.Foyt

becoming the-first driver to.

Win four times. “"#. +:

Defending national driving
champion Tom Sneva,
Danny Ongais and Indy
rookie Rick Mears, com-
prising the first of 11 rows of
cars in the field, will lead the
way into the first turn of the

 2e-lap race.

Rutherford, Ai Unser—
Bobby's younger brother and
also a two-time wliner—and
Gordon Johncock make up
the second row.

Babby Unser qualified on
the inside of the seventh row,
next ta Foyt.

The only other previous
winner in the field is 1969

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Slowed by blistering heat
and humidity, two-time
Boston Marathon champion
Bill Rodgers captured first
place Friday in the In-
dianapolis mini-marathon,
finishing the race in record
time.

Rodgers, of Boston, took 63
mimutes, 43.1 seconds to
cover the 13-mile-plus course
that wound from downtown
Indiahapolis to the finish line
at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway. He shaved 13
seconds off the time set last
year by Frank Shorter in the
first Indy Mini.
