kind in in inthe the west than here bere and the Santa Monica Monira course is not quite so 50 tortuous I I Drivers Are Arc Doubtful True many man manof of the kinks which made Savannah Ra a fairly hard course to drive in in iii the past have been boon removed remo in the 1911 1011 rebuilding but the tho fact alone that th tb the events e are longer in in fact almost twice as long in the grand prize leads the pilots to doubt their ability and that of 01 their mounts to put Herrick Herrick's II mile mark into pst history If the world worlds road race record is beaten in either of the bi big

believe be be- Hove lieve that the tho western stern mark mrk will 11 stand for one reason teason teason l ii Rione ne if it not for more The one out T reason Teason Olon is is that th lh the events are arc so much longer er than those run at iT ill THE ie CUP Santa ia that the cars s and m men n will ill not be able to stand the strain to do rIo better than miles i per cr er hour houi The fhe course courto is ill wonderfully built and undoubtedly will stand higher h r speed peed on some of the tbt straightaways sti than any oth other r course in tho the country but I very ery much fear the worlds world's road race record is safe for tb the tho rest of the season Of course cours there is il one fact which alters this condition slightly and that thatis is that the cars ears here are much higher powered than those at Santa Monica and lind nd are capable of more speed if the course will stand it and nd the driver can stand the strain for the tho long Ions distance Harroun probably is ill the best posted man in in America on Ion long distance speed battles as he be won the great reat utile mile race n-ee at tho the Indianapolis motor speedway speedway speed speed- way last Mav My
