The sound of the Novi

Re: The sound of the Novi
Dang! Gave me chills! I read somewhere that whatever Andy Grannatelli did to the engines quieted them down some. I remember Art Malone running one of them in practice back in the 60's. I was probably only 12 or 13, but I recall loving the sound it made.
Maybe Ed Pink will get one going for the 100th next year. I doubt they'd run it at much RPM but it would be great to hear that sound again. Thanks for the post! Bruce Young |
Re: The sound of the Novi
I have the website where the sound to this video came from. That Novi sounded like a rocket down the front stretch. There was a breakdown of the engine on this site and the pistons are oval shaped. Pretty cool indeed.

Re: The sound of the Novi
That was, and still is my favorite sound from Indy. I remember sitting in the 3rd turn in 1965, and Jim Hurtibise was driving the Tombstone special with a Novi and I think he started in 17th position or so and after the first lap he was up to 5th I believe,and on the second lap he blew it.Someone correct me if I am wrong.
