　 This is English USA, on the Voice of America. Now, Lesson 64, Part 2.
　 　

　

MARTIN:

I'm at the Indianapolis 500 racetrack. Tell me who you are.

　

FORD:

Ford Johnson.

　

MARTIN:

Ford!?

　

FORD:

I had to work with cars, didn't I?

　

MARTIN:

Do you work on Ford cars?

　

FORD:

No, not now.

　

MARTIN:

You're a member of Rick Sanderson's team. How many people work on the pit crew?

　

FORD:

During the race?

　

MARTIN:

Yes.

　

FORD:

There are only five workers. Pit crews can only be five
people.

　

MARTIN:

But I see more men wearing the team uniforms.

　

FORD:

There are rules and regulations for the race. Only five men
can be in the pit when the car comes in.

　

MARTIN:

Where are the other workers?

　

FORD:

Behind the wall.

　

MARTIN:

What do you do?

　

FORD:

My co-workers change the tires. I add fuel.

　

MARTIN:

How long does that take?

　

FORD:

The best time is about twelve and a half seconds.

　

MARTIN:

Seconds! I can't believe it.

　

FORD:

That's right. Each man changes one tire. I add the fuel.

　

MARTIN:

The fuel is dangerous, isn't it?

　

FORD:

There have been accidents. Accidents on the track are very dangerous. The cars may go over two hundred miles an hour. In an accident the fuel is dangerous. But there are about three hundred firemen around the track.

　

MARTIN:

Is the pit area dangerous?

　

FORD:

Not very dangerous. There are new safety rules and
regulations.

　

MARTIN:

Are you afraid?

　

FORD:

No, I'm very careful. The equipment is very good.

　

MARTIN:

The equipment is very expensive, isn't it?

　

FORD:

Yes. The pit equipment costs about three hundred thousand
dollars.

　

MARTIN:

How much does it cost to have a car in the Indianapolis 500?

　

FORD:

At least one million. Most owners spend about two million.

　

MARTIN:

That's a lot!

　

FORD:

It's OK when you win. The winning team gets more than a
million dollars this year.

　

MARTIN:

What if you don't win? Who pays for everything? It isn't
good business for the owners, is it?

　

FORD:

No, it's exciting. The sponsors provide most of the money.
We can't race without sponsors.

　

MARTIN:

Tell about sponsors. What do you mean?

　

FORD:

Each team and driver have sponsors. I mean companies that help pay the costs.

　

MARTIN:

Companies that make things for cars.

　

FORD:

Sure. Tires, oil, all kinds of things. Car companies too.
It's like other sports, you know, like tennis. International
companies.

　

MARTIN:

Let me ask another question. Who's the boss on your team?

　

FORD:

The boss. That's a good question.

　

MARTIN:

Is it the driver?

　

FORD:

Sometimes. Hank is my supervisor. We usually work as a
team, but Hank organizes everything. He's my boss. Hank's boss is the owner.
