REVISE STOCK CAR RULE
Requirements for Certlficatlon
More Strict than Formerly.

In revising the rule defining a stock car
the contest board Of the American Automo-
bile Association has sought 10 incorporate
such conditions as would tend TO strengthen
in the public mind a belief In the honesty
and integrity Of stock car" competitions.
The stock car definition has been rear
ranged and clarified, and is now divided
into ten distinct paragraphs. each setting
forth clearly its particular requirements.
The registration fee is provided to defray
the expenses of the technical examination
al a factory before a car can he registered
and listed as certified stock car
Paragraph provides that minimum Of
twenty-five cars must have actually been
completed before a stock rating can be oh
tanned. The ultimate percentage necessary
to constitute a stock model may be fifty or
$50 cars, but twenty-five Of such model
must first be built before its stock rating
can be established.
The importer of foreign built cars is
placed upon the same basis as the American
manufacturer, in that his total importations
take the place Of the total product OF the
American maker in calculating the percent
age outlined in Paragraph 5.
In the stripped stock chassis the options
remain practically the same as during 1910,
but are more clearly stated than last year.
Floor boards and dashboards must be car
ried in all contests.
The powers and duties Of the technical
committee Of the contest board are clearly
laid down in Paragraph 6.
The different classes are so stated as 20
bring out in bold relief the dividing line
Up~o-
grammes and score boards at all race meet
ings in 1911 will bear the conspicuous an
nouncement over each event, designating
whether ii is for stock cars or for mon
stock" cars in order that the public may
no longer be left in doubt as to the status
OF the event as has frequently been the
case In the past
The classifications remain unchanged
with the one exception that reduction Of
two hundred pounds has been made in the
minimum weights prescribed for stock
chassis" in each OF the divisions of Class B.
The contest board for 1911 is constituted
as follows:
S. NJ. Butler. chairman. Of New York;
H. W. knights. of Boston; r. D. Folwell,
Of Philadelphia; S. b. Stevens. Of New
York: William G. Schinpf, OF Brooklyn:
Joseph II. Wood, Of Newark; Charles |.

cago; Frank NJ Joyce Of Minneapolis: r.
W. Carr of San Antonio; Ralph w. Smith.
of Denver. and +. j. Walker Of San Fran
