Didn’t know those cars had carbs.
Don’t forget the Wiener 500.
They did when it 1st started… 
This is where teams tune their carburetors or chassis to make sure the cars are fit for the race
Although no carburetors have been used by qualified cars since 1963, the name has stuck

They can still celebrate by huffing carb cleaner.
Almost certainly cabureted. Those cars look safe.
Racing is not safe.
Racing in 55 is not even safe for the fans as 84 will be killed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans a few weeks after this picture.

I visited Indianapolis for work a few times and one of my visits I had some free time and visited the Brickyard and the Museum. It’s extremely impressive.
Speaking of Indianapolis, yesterday was the 80th running of the “Indy for bike racers”–the oldest bike race in The US–in my local county seat. It’s always a festive day.
