The most important event of 1910 is
without doubt the national championships
for May 30 AT this meet the champion
of each class will be decided for the year.
This is the first championship that has
ever been run for automobiles. and the
manufacturers are anxious 10 possess
these valuable prizes. which will be in the
form of gold. silver and bronze medals
and which will be the real classics for
Speedway racing this year.

at the Indianapolis motor speedway, and
which give to the winner the greatest hon

the speedway management are active try
ing to corral other trophies which will
bring to the speedway the attention of
the country.
The motorists and road racing fans
learned with much regret that the Lowell
cup. one of the classics of the east, was
to be abandoned. that the Lowell Auto
mobile Club. after a noble struggle, was
about to forego the holding of its race.
Labor day was assigned to Lowell la st
year and was held for the club this year.
Indianapolis bid for Labor day and was
advised by Chairman Butler of the racing
board that the date was assigned to Low
ell providing the Lowell Club would again
hold it's race. Chairman Heinze. the en-
thusiast who did the real work. at once
started the ball rolling for another Low
ell event, but the enthusiasm with which
the proposition was met last year was
lacking.
The renewal OF the grand prize, the
Vanderbilt cup, the Paramount Park
and other road events in the east gave
the Lowell a great deal of competition.
and the fact that Lowell lacked the old
enthusiasm discouraged the hustling club,
so that 1t abandoned it's Labor day date
and the hustling speedway quickly grasp
ed the situation and claimed it OH ac-
count of its previous request for the date
being made as early as last fall.
In fact, before the racing season of
1909 had closed the motor speedway had
started after the famous CODE trophy,

With the opening of the racing and
contest season it develops that a number
of manufacturers have left their agents
and owners in a very embarrassing posi-
ton. Either through inadvertence or
otherwise they have not filed with the
contest board Of the American Automo-

Bright and early every morning this
spring these daredevil pilots have taken
their rubber-shod creations of endurance

been permitted TO go through their flight

ton of racers is now housed in the speed

When thousands of dollars added
to the expense of this course ha tae paw

ers sighed with relief, believing their work
perfected.
Su was not quite the case. The thin
coating of cement upon the track began 10

themselves then presented sharp races
that proved disastrous to the tires or the
ra, ing cars. Not only did this prove eX-
pensive but il presented a possible eie-
Tnent of danger and the speedway pro-
motors have taken every caution to bar
al unnecessary hazards for this years
making of motor car history.
The officials of the speedway imme-
Giately got busy and devised scheme
They procured several large blocks of &C.
