1981 Indianapolis 500 - Race Schedule

Race Schedule

For the first time, USAC held a special test session for first-time drivers. The first-ever Rookie Orientation Program was organized and held over three days in early April. It allowed newcomers the opportunity to take their first laps at the Speedway and acclimate themselves to the circuit in a relaxed environment, without the pressure of veteran drivers crowding the track, without spectators, and minimal media coverage. The drivers were allowed to take the first phases of their rookie test during the ROP, and return to complete the test during official practice in May.

Famous quotes containing the word race:

    “Ah, little road, brown as my race is brown,
    Your trodden beauty like our trodden pride,
    Dust of the dust, they must not bruise you down.
    Rise to one brimming golden, spilling cry!”
    —Helene Johnson (b. 1907)
