1933 AAA Championship Car season

Auto racing season

The 1933 AAA Championship Car season consisted of three races, beginning in Speedway, Indiana on May 30 and concluding in Syracuse, New York on September 9. There was one non-championship event. The AAA National Champion and Indianapolis 500 winner was Louis Meyer.

During a tragic year at Indianapolis, Bill Denver and his riding mechanic Bob Hurst died during practice, and during the race Mark Billman, and later Lester Spangler and his riding mechanic G. L. Jordan - in two different accidents. The season ended on 9 September at Syracuse, where a 15 lap non-championship race was scheduled to run after the main event, but was cancelled due to darkness.

Final points standings

Note: Drivers had to be running at the finish to score points. Points scored by drivers sharing a ride were split according to percentage of race driven. Starters were not allowed to score points as relief drivers, if a race starter finished the race in another car, in a points scoring position, those points were awarded to the driver who had started the car.
