It's Indie Time Again!

As we approach Memorial weekend it is time for the Indie 500 again (Sunday, May 25th). This will be the 92nd occasion that the race has been run since it was first organised by Carl Fisher. This year’s race is shaping up to be one of the most keenly contested for some years with competitors clocking up a staggering 200 laps. One of the favourites this year is British driver Dan Wheldon who won the race back in 2005. Others such as Scott Dixon, Graham Rahal and Australian Will Power will be out to stop Dan from winning his second Indie 500. Have a look at this Indy racing web site for further information on the race.

The Indie circuit has been designed with correctly radiused bends so as to permit the cars to be driven safely at maximum performance. It stands to reason that right angled turns would be detrimental to the cars' performance and potential for success. This is exactly the same engineering design philosophy we adopted when designing our two curved Sonic Horns – the PAS-75C and the super powerful PAS-60C.

On our web site under my ‘Irishman’s Guide’, there is a section which explains why our corrected curved sonic horn design is the correct one and highlights why competitors’ 90 degree ‘curved’ horns will not provide the same optimum as our ‘Indie’ designed models.
