Indy safeiy rules cause controversy INDIANAPOLIS (AP)-An attorney for the U.S. Auto Club sought yesterday to show that Championship Auto Racing Teams adopted a "take-it-or- leave-it" attitude on demands for the Indianapolis 500 before 19 of its entries were rejected by USAC. The maneuvering came in cross examination of car owner Dan Gurney, whose two cars were among those disqualified by USAC. For more sports, turn to pages 14-15 It appeared the court hearing on CART's suit to force acceptance of the entries would stretch into the weekend, keeping the rejected CART teams off the track at least for today's first day of practice for the May 27 race. Gurney testified in U.S. District Court that all entries by CART mem- bers were given to Pat Patrick, president of the breakaway racing organization, and that Patrick had the authority to either submit them to USAC or withhold them. Patrick turned in the 44 entries, representing 19 CART teams, two days before the April 15 deadline. But before that, he had made public statements that CART was considei'ing running its own championship race the same day as the 500 for a similar $1 million purse. USAC attorney Henry Ryder asked Gurney about a so-called "white paper" Gurney wrote early in 1978 in which he expressed dissatisfaction with the operation of championship racing and stated there was a "great need for a change." Gurney said the paper, in which he first proposed the name Championship Auto Racing Teams as a separate organization, was "an attempt.to focus attention on the state of our industry." Gurney's seven-page document outlined many of the CART issues, in- cluding race purses. "At that moment, we the car owners, are the ones who have put forth by far the most effort, by far the most finan- cial stake with little or no chance for return.. ." the paper said. Gurney said the Indianapolis 500 purse should be doubled to $2 million. He said the paper as given to a num- ber of racing reams, and the CART issues were presented at a USAC meeting last October in which six of the original CART directors were present. Earlier, Gurney told CART attorney Phillip Maxwell that USAC had not been responsive to what CART con- sidered immediate problems. "As a car owner, I was unable to talk directly to the USAC Board. I spoke to USAC President Dick King, Indy 500 chief steward Tom Binford and former USAC Board Chairmah Reynold Mac- Donald. King was the one on the scene most of the time. He was generally sympathetic, but he kept reiterating he couldn't do anything about it, that he would bring it up when the board met. It was a poor structure to react toim- mediate problems."
