PUBLIC PROTECTED
FROM RACE CLAIMS
Leading Auto Manufacturer
Discusses Important Item
of Current Interest.
BY HARRY WARD.

A great deal Of interest attaches to a
statement issued BY one Of the leading
automobile manufacturers Of the cOun-
try, IN the course Of which he says the
public does not realize how well il Is
protected from erroneous and extrava-
CANT racing claims this season. The
eagle eve Of the American Automobile
Association contest board is ever fixed
on the statements made by manu-
facturers who race their cars, and this
seasons stock car is really stock car.
"The inauguration Of the 1910 contest
rules marks q new epoch5'' says the
manufacturer in question. THE per
centage basis upon which stock car
production is figured makes it impossl-
BILE for any concern, no matter how
big it is. TO build a bunch Of special
machines and still keep within the
stock car definition. This season a car
which wins a stock chassis race IS the
same in every particular as the cars
offered for sale 10 the public by The
dealers.
such a condition Of affairs is pleas
ing to makers who have tried 10 win
with stock machines. The TACT that
the racing is conducted under the
three AS and the contest board eN-
ercises its power TO punish those who
infringe upon the rules has raised
the motor car racing contests from
their commercial foundation 10 IhaI
of high class sport. The people are
realizing the change which the 1910
rules have brought about, and as a
result are supporting the racing con-
tests with greater interest than ever
before"
