Here at the unveiling Tuesday of the new Mickey Thompson racing machine, the Ford Autolight Special, the long and square little race machine, the matter of the salt flats was in the top of the world sport news again. Thompson, one of the most personable people in this interesitng quest, mentioned time and again that all would depend upon the condition of the salt. the Utah rainy season," he said (First time I ever knew that November was our rainy period. But they have more concern to check the chartage than some of us whose lives depend not at all on whether the salt is slickish.) We hope to beat New Car Big Draw There were several hundred people from all over the racing world here to see the new car. Each received a packet on the history of the salt flats, the significance of this Utah resource in the way of racing, including some of the plans for the future of racing as long as the salt is shaved to racing as it has been most times in the past. quality So from this event alone the worlds press will talk about our Bonneville salt course again and it will be in the big headline w hen Mickey shoots for mark mad" by the Summers the 409 Brothers, Bill and Bob in the last days of October or the first of November. mile-per-ho- ur As I wrote, Mickey Thompson is an old timer on our salt.
