Nicknamed “Offys,” Fred’s engines were extremely popular with Indy 500 drivers. It is estimated that Fred built about 150 racing engines. Offys were winners at not only The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but many other courses and races. From the time Fred debuted his designs until the late 1970s, Offys would become the engine that powered the most winning cars at Indianapolis.

This event, made possible with the help of our friends and partners at Mazda and the Sports Car Rac- ing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), was met with questions at its announcement that have been answered in a big way, with more than 530 drivers on the entry list and a rejunvenaton of the west coast program all season long. While we haven’t been west of the Rockies since River- side International Raceway in 1968, it’s hard to believe it will be that long before we return again. The question on everyone’s mind, even more than usual, is who is going to win? Are there hidden gems on the west coast who may be making their first Runoffs appearance that will make a name for themselves on the national stage, or will the traditional contenders learn a new track quickly enough to hold their titles? My guess is that we’ll see some of each.

  • Indianapolis 500 Fun Facts
    Indianapolis 500 Fun Facts In 1909, Carl Fisher and three other investors purchased 325 acres in Indianapolis to serve as a test facility for Indianapolis’ burgeoning automobile industry. A 2.5 mile racetrack was built and named the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was nicknamed “The Brickyard” due to the 3.2 million bricks used to pave the track. The Speedway is the world’s largest sports venue with the ability to accommodate about 400,000 spectators. Today, the racetrack serves as the home of the world-famous Indianapolis 500, NASCAR’s Brickyard 400, and other motorcycle events. The actual race day is on May 30, 2010, yet Indianapolis celebrates the Indianapolis 500 through a month-long celebration in May hosted by the 500 Festival committee and its numerous volunteers. Due to its significance to Indiana, the Indiana Business Research Center presents statistical facts about this Hoosier tradition. Indy 500 and Indianapolis 400,000 Individuals estimated to attend the Indianapolis 500 race on race day. More than 250,000 are admitted for the permanent seating and another 100,000 or more are admitted for the infield. If the speedway itself were a city, on race day, its population would rank as the 45th largest city nationwide. 798,382 The July 1, 2008, estimated population of Indianapolis, making it the nation’s 14th largest city. $336 million Estimated economic impact from the Indianapolis 500 race in Indianapolis, according to the most recent analysis in 2000.
