...into the lead. The Tempest is Pontiac's compact, normally has a four-cylinder engine, gentle springs, and all the aerodynamic qualities of a two-by-four. But some expert rebuilding and the addition of an optional, high-performance V-8 Pontiac engine was all that Driver Paul Goldsmith, 36, himself an Indianapolis driver, needed to leave the Sting Rays in his exhaust...
...point Goldsmith buzzed around the rain-slick, 2.5-mile track at a risky 155 m.p.h. "I broke into a number of slides that made my hair stand up," he later admitted. But his 3,200-lb. Tempest with wide-track wheels was a great deal easier to control than the lighter (by 400 Ibs.) Sting Rays-or even a pair of Italian Ferrari GTOs. Two Sting Rays pulled into the pits flooded with 4 in. of water on their floor boards from leaky vents; the others were sliding all over the track. At race's end, Goldsmith...
...This is a cruel sport," says Gurney, and last week he was back at Riverside for another try. The field in the $66,000 Grand National stock car race (distance: 500 miles) included such daredevils as Glenn ("Fireball") Roberts, Paul Goldsmith and Len Sutton.

Leaping & Somersaulting. Shunted back into eleventh place as the starter's green flag dropped, Gurney played a waiting game as A. J. Foyt, Goldsmith and the others dueled for the lead. Bumper to bumper the cars snarled around the circuit, hitting close to 150 m.p.h. on the straightaways, sliding boldly through the narrow turns. For some, the pace proved too fast. Clem Proctor's Pontiac hit an oil slick and leaped a 3½-ft.-high guardrail. Jim Paschal's Plymouth spun out of control, turned four somersaults and plunged over a steep embankment. Incredibly, neither driver...
...addition to expressing the hope that that wonderful lump of a bumpkin Tony will stop shouting, I would add only that Hinkle's decision to cut the prologue is regrettable, since it is clever and to the point and that the program notwithstanding, (it refers to "Mr." Oliver Goldsmith), the gentleman was an M.D. Kirkland House has conquered me, and, my analyst assures me, I'm no stoop...
