NATIONAL CIRCUIT OFF
Automobile Makers Agree That
Plan Is Not Practicable.
MANY CONTESTS PLANNED
Promoters Will Select Their
Own Officials and Secure
Their Own Entries.

There will be no national circuit OF auto
mobile races. This has been announced by
S. NJ. Butler. chairman OF the contest board
Of the American Automobile Association.
The original intention Of the proposed ma
tional circuit was to provide a series OF
automobile contests following each other in
losical sequence. both as TO date and geo
graphical location. ard 10 permit a maxi
mum number Of participants in each con-
test al minimum cost FOR transportation.
Discussion with the racing team mana
gers at Indianapolis On May 80 o., the ten
tative list Of contest dates heretofore pub
lished by the contest board as proposed
national circuit dates mas served to demon
strate that such dates are too many in
lumber and beginning on MAY 30 and ex-
tending 10 November / cover too long a
period to secure consecutive and continued
support Of sufficient contests 10 justify
their designation as national events.
No further attempt. therefore, will be
made to cary cut the national circuit propo-
si;ion during the 1911 season.
II should be clearly understood that clubs.
associations and individual promoters will
therefore make their applications for sane
rioas fer contests in the usual manner. Sc
cure their entries and make their own ar
rangements for such officials as are re-
CURED under the rules
