The winter racing season on the Los
Angeles Motordrome will be ushered in
most auspiciously next Saturday and
Sunday, when over a score of different
makes of cars will be seen in action
and eighty odd starters will leave the
wire in a dozen contests scheduled to
thrill the most insatiate lover of speed.
For the past two months plans have
been formulating and preparation go
ing on to open the Motordrome with a
bigger and better series of speed bat
ties and time trials than were ever
before offered the public on a speed
way or a circular dirt track. How
we'll THE management of the big board
track has succeeded can easily be
cleaned from a look at the list of
cars and drivers.
Never before in the history of racing
has a classier program been offered
the public, and with good weather
and an even break in luck the coming
meet will add a new chapter to the
history of auto racing.
With prospects for a very fatter-
ing settlement of the differences be-
tween Barney Oldfeld, the worlds
speed king and the American Auto
will head the list of notab1es who will
compete. Barney has come to the
coast prepared to do wonders in the
racing game.
His stable of machines is housed this
year in private railway garage
equipped with all the conveniences of
the up-to-date motor establishment,
and at the head of his quartet of speed
creations Is the 20O-horsepower Bitten
Benz machine which established the
worlds record over the motordrome
course last year and later lowered it
at the Indianapolis speedway. With
specially constructed tires and the
track placed in superb condition and
rid of all the oil that covered it last
year, several new speed marks will
be hung up by-King Barney and his
big machine
While the big Benz is in a class by
itself as a speed creation, it will not
have the attention of the public to
itself this year, as Oldfield has brought
to the coast with him another ma
chine that is conceded to be one of
the classiest ever shipped into this
country from Europe. 1t is known as
the Prince Henry Benz and is some
times called the Baby Benz because
of it's similarity to the great 200-horse-
power car.
Oldfield will use the Prince Henry
IN the class c races and ought tn ho
near the front in every race in which
he enters the new speed machine.
King Barney also has his worlds
championship Knox stock car with
him and the 100-horsepower Darracq
racer, with which Kerscher lowered
two worlds speed records last year at
the opening meet of the Notordrome
A score of other drivers, headed by
the coast favorites, Charlie Soules and
Nick Nickrent, are entered in all the
events in which their machines are
eligible. Soules will pilot an Isotta
and Nickrent large and small Knox
machines.
George Clarke, the famous Texas
driver, will come from the east with
his two crack Cutting machines, and
there will be half dozen other east
erners here to battle with Barney Old
field, Soules and the other coast pilots.
