most spectacular, the longest and the
fastest international automobile race
ever held in this country.
Fate played game of hide-and-seek
with three grimy-hooded figures that
sat behind big steering wheels and
throttles and fought with skill and
daring for an advantage of seconds at
the finish of the more than six hours
of driving through the sitting fumes
OF burning oil. into storms of sand and
gravel thrown up by the flying wheels
of the car ahead. at risk of life and
limb. for the honor of trophy cup
