There's a very good reason why you'll never see a diesel engine in an Indy 500 race car.
Well, Not Quite True ;)
Man, great read!!! I had no idea. Too bad they didn't screen the turbo. It would have been a different story if they did.
4K RPM for a diesel in 1952!!! :E A mag case!!!! WOW!!! Now that's wild! Cummins really pulled that one off!
That was the best read I had in a long time.
PS: There was one other car that "burned diesel" in Indy in the late 60's. Almost won. Anybody know what car I'm talking about?
