This years Los Angeles Phoenix
race is over an entirely new route
from those used in the past six years.
The road selected measures 500 miles
and is longer by 1872 miles than via
san Diego and Yuma. Three days
instead of two will be consumed for
the event. The advantages are the
lack Of heavy sand and generally bet
ter road conditions through the
sparsely settled districts of San Ber-
nardino county, California. and west
ern Arizona. However, storms are
far more likely to occur at this sea
son along the northern route in the
higher elevations of Arizona than in
the southern portion and should rains
or snow be encountered the running
time will be materially reduced from
previous records. With fair weather
the winning ear should average
thirty-one miles per hour. equalling
the time made by Olin Davis in the

miles and will undoubtedly be made
by some cars in less than one hour

From San Bernardino the road fol-
lows the Santa Fe railroad very
closely to Ash Fork and Phoenix.

road is a narrow canyon with con-

dangerous turns with few opportuni-
ties for passing. When the summit
is gained the country opens up into
great plain of Yucca with a good
road on to Hesperia and Nictorville.
Two miles more and the MOiave river
is crossed by bridge and light sand
conditions to prevail to Barstow. This
checking point will be reached in
less than four hours from the start,
a distance of 137 miles Here most
