| Group 8 -- Indy Roadsters! And...
Brooklands Cars!!!
The featured car this year. Enough roadsters appeared to fill a full Indianapolis 500 33-car field with cars left over. Most were powered by 4.2 liter Offenhauser 4 cyl. engines, with a couple of Chrysler V8s and one Chevy V8. I heard about a Novi running a 4-cam Maserati V8 in lieu of the Novi V8 unit but I never saw it. Prints of these photos are available

Brooklands
was an early English banked track used for record runs. Its characteristics
spawned a unique breed of enormous aero-engined
record breakers. Three of these legendary cars circulated on demo
laps at this year's Monterey Historics.
