FLORIDA GOLD CUP
RACE FOR ORMOND
Will Be Southern Duplica-
ton of Vanderbilt Event
on Long Island.
A. A. A. OFFICIALS APPROVE
Course VIII Be 500 Miles Over Beach
and ROadway-MinOr Events
on Program.

ORMOND. Fla. Jan. 30.-A grand in
ternational road race OF 800 miles. 80
miles each day. is now being enthusiast
tically discussed by motorists interested
in the future OF OFmond-Daytona meets.
The plan has received the unqualified
approval OF several prominent A A. a.
officials and will be made a reality If
certain improvements are carried out
In order To secure an uninterrupted
course for the long distance event, and
10 avoid sharp turns, IL is proposed 70
construct loops al OrmOnd and Daytona,
which would allow the cars 20 go back
and forth over the beach with no
abrupt changes IN direction. There is
a hne nfJeeu-mile beach stretch between
OrmOad and DaytOnas which, with the
distance 70 be travelled on the loop.
would make a course Of perhaps twenty
five miles In length. or six circuits 10
cover The $50 miles scheduled for each
day.
Plans Call for New Trophy.
II is the intention 10 run the loop
across the strip of land known as the
peninsula To the road along the east side
Of the Halifax river, ana down or up.
Jas required, the approaches 10 the beach
at Ormont and Daytoua already exist
ing. The plan calls Tor a new trophy
10 be won outright and known as the
Florida cold Cup.
Ii the proposed event is put through il
is the intention 10 have work on the
loops started early in the spring. after
The busy resort season is ended. The
lOOp plan is like the one 20 be used In
converting "a part OF the Long Island
= rFH El
next Vanderbilt Cup.
The advantages of such an arrange
menJ are manifold. The turns would
give the people al OTmOnd and DaytOua
gdrs well and thereby Kill the rivalry
.'hlch mas always existed as 10 which
md Of the beach would receive the
greatest number OF events.
More Exaeting Test.
The combination OF beach and road
work would prove a more eXacting test
than were the beach alone 10 be used, as
heretofore.
The race would be run on the lines of
The Grand Prix, the times for making
the $50 miles each day being added 20
determine the winner OF the 300 miles
The present weight limit classification
would probably give way 10 a simple
tuel supply restriction as adopted Tor the
next Grand PriN, 10 cylinder displace-
menJ as often discussed with growing
favor IN this country, 10 stock classes
restrictions which viii govern the big
German race OF this year, or 10 IL pos
slble combination Of the Iirst two, fuel
supply and cylinder displacemeuLs. The
300-mile race would then occupy Two
days
Events from twenty miles up. free for
all, might be held on the next two days
with some also Tor stock ears. On the
10
be held such a program should prove a
great drawing card
