Whakakīhia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I mate a Sachs me te kaihautū motokā hākinakina a Dave MacDonald, he tauhou 500, i roto i tētahi tukinga ahi e whitu ngā motokā i te huringa tuarua o te
Ko te 1964 Indianapolis 500. Ko MacDonald e taraiwa ana i tētahi motokā nā Mickey Thompson i waihanga, ko te "Sears-Allstate Special" #83. I tono a Thompson ki nga apiha USAC kia haere ki tana toa i California ki te tirotiro i te motuka i a ia e hanga ana kia kore ai e haumi moni ki te motuka mena ka taea te whakakore i te Speedway. I whakaaetia e USAC te tono, a, i tukuna te waka me tana kohinga paanga whenua. I te wā i tae ai te motokā ki te Speedway i te marama o Mei, kua huri te whakaaro o te USAC, ā, kua kore. I te mahi i roto i nga waahi iti o te rohe karaka, Thompson me te roopu i hanga ano te motuka kia tutuki ai nga whakaritenga hou a te USAC. Ko ēnei huringa, te tangohanga o ngā parirau, te huri ki ngā taera nui ake, me te whakanui ake i te teitei mai i te rua inihi ki te wha, i tino kore ai te noho o ngā motokā. I whakamatauria e Graham Hill te waka i mua o Indy engari i kore ia e hiahia ki te taraiwa i te 1963. I hinga a Masten Gregory i te tīmatanga o te marama nā te whakaekenga hau. Whai muri i te tohu a MacDonald i mua i te whakataetae, ko te toa o te Ao Grand Prix Formula One a Jim Clark, i mohio ki a MacDonald me te whakaute i tana kaha, i whai i te Californian mo etahi huringa. I muri i to rātau taenga mai, ka akiaki a Clark i a MacDonald kia puta mai i te motokā. Ka mea atu a Clark, "Waiho". "Waiho noa atu, ka haere". Engari i whakaaro a MacDonald kia whakahonoretia tana kirimana ki a Thompson. I whai atu ētahi atu kaihoe i te tohutohu a Gregory, a, i noho tawhiti atu i ngā waka a Thompson. I mua i te whakataetae, ka whakatata atu a Gregory ki te kaihauturu Formula One a Jack Brabham, i te taha o MacDonald i runga i te tīmatanga, ka akiaki i a Brabham kia nui te waahi mo te rookie. I kii a Brabham ko te tohutohu a Gregory i whakaora i tona ora.
