contests seems not TO be greatly Influenced
by tire size, many makers uniformly fit
ting smaller tires for racing purposes than
for regular equipment.
Eighth. Style of Dash. Seat and Body
Euuipment-Option necessary because OF
removal of body. Many makers also build
cars in which dashes are an integral part
OF the body.
Ninth Form, Volume and Location Of
Fuel and Oil Tanks.-Option necessary be
cause many tanks located in body or in
such position that driver of chassis would
be obliged to sit upon the tank, making
mis- position entirely unsafe for racing
work II will be noted that the system
Cwhether gravity, pressure feed or pump
must in either case remain unchanged.
Tenth. Exhaust Header and Exhaust
Pipe-Uhder the stock chassis definition
any parts non-essential for racing condi-
tions MAJ be removed. Safety. however,
dictates that the direction of the exhaust
shall be such as not to raise dust.
Eleventh. Shock Absorbers and Wind
ing Of Spr1ngs.-A necessity upon any car
to be driven at high speed over American
roads. Without them it is doubtful whether
the operator could remain in his seat or
properly control his car.
Twelfth. Bonnets Must Be Carried
Throughout Contest.-This for the reason
that car with a bonnet removed is not
a particularly attractive spectacle.
Thirteenth. Bonnet Straps Must Be Add
ed.-Nothing is more dangerous TO the oc-
cupants Of a car moving seventy miles an
hour than TO have the bonnet become
loosened and blown back against them.
Not only is the operator likely to lose con-
troll Of the car momentarily. but the sharp
edges of the sheet metal bonnet have been
known TO in1ict serious injuries
