DALE DRAKE was one of the sons of J.A. Drake & Sons, manufacturers of Jadson valves. Drake arranged for Jadson to sponsor Louis Meyer\u2019s Miller race car in 1931, which finished fourth after it was started by Myron Stevens and later taken over by Meyer when his original car dropped out of the race. In 1932, Drake was riding mechanic for Meyer in Alden Sampson\u2019s twin-engine Miller. A member of Meyer\u2019s winning pit crews in 1933 and 1936, Drake later developed the Drake engine for midget racing. In 1945, he and Meyer purchased the Offenhauser engine business. Meyer-Drake Engineering proceeded to win every Indianapolis 500 race from 1947 through 1964, plus countless National Championship races. In 1965, Meyer sold his interest to Drake when he took over distributorship of Ford\u2019s Indianapolis 500 race engines. Drake Engineering\u2019s Offenhauser engine remained a formidable competitor, however; it won the Indianapolis 500 in its turbocharged form in 1968 and from 1972 through 1976.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8896,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nDale Drake - IMS Museum<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/devsite.techchart.io\/imsmuseumfame_inductee\/dale-drake\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Dale Drake - IMS Museum\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"DALE DRAKE was one of the sons of J.A.
