Vaughn is one of the most pictures
que figures In the automobile world
Although still young man. he has
been actively engaged in automobile
design construction and testing since
the inception Of the Industry in this
country.
In 1904 Vaughn first sprang into
prominence by breaking the 1000 mile
record on onemile track at the
Empire City track. From then on his
rise in the automobile world has been
very rapid. During the years which
he devoted to racing. he hung up
number of worlds records. Probably
his best performance was at Brlar-
cliff Road Race in 1905, when, driving
a 5000 II. p. stock Stearns classic, he
led all American cars, finishing second
only to high-powered foreign machines
especially prepared for this contest.
One of the unique features of this con-
test was that the three Stearns cars
