...score of drivers who protested that Jones's car should be banned from the 500-arguing that it really was an "airplane," and that no piston-engined machine could possibly match the tremendous torque (1,000 foot-pounds) and acceleration produced by its 550-h.p.

...Madrid, but it offered the most experienced fertilizer-producing and marketing network that was available. The firm has mined phosphates in Florida since the early 1900s, is a partner in a phosphate mine in Senegal, West Africa, has a large share of a $70 million Indian phosphate-fertilizer plant scheduled to begin production this summer. And, I.M.C. pointedly is building the world's largest phosphoric-acid plant in Antwerp. Combined with the company's other processing plants around the world, this was the sort of outlet Madrid wanted...
