Announcement ig made that the Lozier Motor
Company will build three racing cars for the next
big road race in this country. The extensive IA
cilities this company has IN its Plattsburg and
Stamford factories will permit the construction OF
several racing without interference with the
work on the regular product.
The Lozier factory is built on a piece OF ground
covering several hundred acres the shores OF
Lake Champlain, and plans have been drawn for a
track that will be approximately three and a half
nles in circumference, this being made possible by
securing right Of way over the adjoining property
With a track OF this kind the Lozier racing cars
will have exceptional opportunities for demon
stratins their speed. One Of the reasons for the
failure OF American TO make better showing
mas been the lack or opportunity for actual speed
