As Frederic Haskin pointed out in his
recent articles about automobiles. auto
racing is losing caste with the manu-
facturers.
1t is expensive for them and auto
buyers nowadays are not nearly so
much convinced by an autos racing
record as they formerly were, as the
general assumption now is that records
are made with nOn-stock cars.
But though il may prejudice no pros
pective buyer in favor of a car, still
auto racing IS interesting to spectators
and there is something inspiring in the
gathering Of thousands about a course
to watch a road race. For this reason
It is hoped that the sport will not be
listed among the obituaries for some
time as 1t is undoubtedly growing safer
