The course over which the road race
IS 10 lake place tomorrow is going to
be a hard test. both on the drivers and
on the machines Ii is more than a
dangerous course. and it would not
be surprising 81 some serious accident
should occur The first II miles. which
is supposed 20 be a straightaway. has
some hard turns and few bridges
which have jumps that must send the
racing cars clear OF the ground.
After the course turns into the drs
creek road. IL is winding and narrow
with turns much worse than on the
straightaway. Practically several Of the
motorists who have gone over The road
claim it IS almost TOO dangerous for
the event What makes il even worse
is that on the first part the road is
anything but smooth.
