The Woodstock White River juno
ton speedway has been productive
of records recently. One chauffeur
claims to have made the course in 81 |
minutes, and the Landmark says:
Senator George Whitney of En-
field, with party of friends aboard, |
made the distance between Wood |
stock and this place on Sunday in !
his Pierce Arrow touring car in ID |
minutes. The distance is II miles |
If Mr.. Whitney gave the correct time
in which the trip was made, we are
afraid he exceeded the speed limit
just triae-and is therefore VIC
!ator of state law"
