Eddy and Scott are right! Those American circle trackers just can't adapt to the rear-engined cars... looking back over the years, we can see, historically, how poorly they have done. Good examples of this are: Parnelli, Roger Ward, Bobby Marshman, Lloyd Ruby, Al Sr, Bobby Unser, A J, Mario, Gordie Johncock, Johnny Rutherford, Tom Sneva, Al Jr, Jim McElreath, Billy Vukovich Jr, Pancho Carter etc... all of these guys really embarrassed themselves at Indy ..... didn't they????
