Studebaker 'Race Trivia' Question

[SN-60]

Here's another pain in the --- trivia question: Over the 100 year history of the Indy 500, how many cars bearing the 'Studebaker' factory logo qualified for AND RACED in the 500? (Stude sponsored entries)

Not enough! BP

[CarCrosswordDan]

SN-60, I'd say 11. One in'31, five in '32, and five in '36. Dan

[CarCrosswordDan]

Bob, same answer as above, however, think there were 2 other '31 entries that used Stude engines but weren't built by Stude and didn't have factory logos. Dan

[SN-60]

I agree with Bob's 'Not Enough', and have to tell Dan that eleven is incorrect!

Don't forget the J.C.Agajanien 52 entry, and the 60's Studebaker STP specials

[SN-60]

To: bezhawk,--- The Agajanian entry was very interesting, but it didn't make the race, and wasn't sponsored by Studebaker.

[Chris_Dresbach]

I'm going to guess 17 counting the '52, the Novi powered car, and all four pace cars.

[bezhawk]

Ed, I was thinking Stude related.......I miss understood the question.

[SN-60]

To: Chri Dresbach,----Good guess Chris, but seventeen isn't the answer. And the pace cars, not being race entries, don't count.

[SN-60]

To: bezhawk,---- Yes, that Agajanian financed double overhead cam Studebaker V8.....well, if an engine can be 'gorgeous', that one certainly was!

[s1b]

30?.........

[SN-60]

s1b,----Thanks for giving it a shot, but thirty isn't the correct answer.

[clonelark]

I say 5 entries

[SN-60]

To: clonelark,------ Sorry, five entries is not the correct answer!
