In my opinion" said Mr. Ford. "this
win be the most interesting race that
has ever been conceived in America
from the light car manufacturer $
standpoint.
There is no testing ground near any
factory where a car can be tried out
at top speed under road conditions. If
any weakness develops in a race Ike
this it will give the manufacturer an
opportunity to heal the weak spot be-
fore 1909 models are placed on the mar

iOus to try conclusions with some of
our twO-cylinder competitors, who
claim that less car for more money is
a better bargain because they Will
stand up better"
The standardization people and E.
R. HOllander are also enthusiastic over
the idea of this race.
