Continued from page 8A unbridled with the roar and rumble of a rolling start by 33 turbocharged cars totaling more than 20,000 horsepower. “To sports, to wildness and much company.” This year’s 500, Sunday, May 27, could be especial­ ly competitive. The nature of the race cars used this year in the Indy Racing League foreshadow lots of passing. The cars are new this season. They’re bodies are designed to generate heavy aerodynamic down- force. Downforce yields traction and control, but is diametric on super speed­ ways. It makes cars more sta­ ble, allowing greater ma­ neuverability and, pre­ sumably, more opportuni­ ty to jink around competi­ tors. It also creates drag that slows cars. There’s little that race teams can do to reduce downforce generated by the body of Indy cars. “Most of the downforce comes from the ground ef­ fects tunnel underneath the body,” said Chris Houge, crew chief of the No. 22 car, co-owned by Robbie Buhl, formerly of Grosse Pointe Farms. At high speeds, tunnels induce high-speed flow of air under the cars that cre­ ate vacuums. Air trying to fill those vacuums presses down on the tops of the cars, sticking them firmer to the track than other­ wise. Indy cars also have front and rear wings. During qualifying last weekend for the 500, teams adjust­ ed their car’s front and rear wings to provide lift. This is counter intuitive. Wmgs were originally added to race cars decades ago to provide downforce. Yet, wings on the cur­ rent generation of Indy cars were being set to off­ set the body’s downforce and drag. “There’s a point where the wings create mini­ mum downforce and a point wither they create It's not one plan — it's your plan.

W e're celebrating 10 years o f fighting cancer!

Can you really celebrate something like cancer? St. John Hospital is celebrating our fight against cancer this year, with the 10th anniversary of the Van Elsiander Cancer Center, founded in 2001.

Thanks to generous donors from the Grosse Pointes and beyond, we were able to recruit brilliant medical minds, bring services together under one roof to make cancer care more coordinated and efficient for patients, and invest in technology to kick many cancers to the curb.

And so, we celebrated on the weekend on May 6, with the friends who brought us to this point, and the patients who bravely fight their disease with courage and dignity.

NORTH & SOUTH GIRLS South earns title, North second By Bob St. John Sports Editor

Grosse Pointe South dominated its Division 1 regional meet last week­ end, earning 225.67 points. Grosse Pointe North was a distant second with 82 points, followed by Detroit Cass Tech with 75, Detroit Renaissance with 72, St. Clair Shores Lakeview with 61, Detroit Martin Luther King with 54.67, Warren Woods-Tower with 23.67, Eastpointe East Detroit with 17 and Detroit Mumford with 16. It was South’s 17th re­ gional championship in the past 20 years. They pulled off a rare feat, placing in all 17 events, with 12 being crowned regional champions, a record number for the Blue Devils and highest among any regional meet in the state. “I just shook my head PHOTOS BY BOB BRUCE in complete amazement South’s girls rally around the trophy after winning yet another Division 1 track and field regional meet. at our team,” South head coach Steve Zaranek mark and here we tion leading time is 8:59. season and winning by DeBrunner seventh.

In all, South scored 97 points in the four dis­ tance races. Complementing the South distance ban-age, the South sprinters also dominated, led by senior Caitlin Moore and record setting performances. "Caitlin is pure gold,” Zaranek said. “She sets the standard for our team and gets job after job done with confidence and heart. The entire team feeds off her inten­ sity and desire. “Moore qualified for the state finals in four events (that is the maxi­ mum). We had our work cut out as Cass Tech brought in the states leading sprint relays.” Moore anchored both the 400- and 800- meter relays. The 400 team of Mia Perkins, Cierra Rice, Andrea DiCresce and Moore upset Cass by winning the event in a season-best time of 49.7. Moore then teamed up with Perkins, Christy Ford and DiCresce to place second (to Cass) in the 800 relay. Along the way, the South girls broke the school record running a 1:44.4. Moore was not done.
