Jack Prince Builder of los Bosyd Speedways Believes
That Public Has Grown Tiredpf350 and 500 Mile

John s CJack'D Prince pioneer
builder OF wood tracks for bicycle.
motorcycle and automobile racing
The Sheepshead Bay race was most
tlresome to the spectators after the
first so miles was covered, and only
the fact that new worlds record
was hung w saved the day.
Likewise. the construction OF huge
racing plants involving expenditures
ranging from tl.OOO,00O 10 $4,000. 900
Is a thing uf the past. The long dis
tance automobile race craze and the
extravagant idea " constructing
speedways can be / kened to the war
stock craze now prevalent In the
East. The comparative Hmallness OF
the Sheepshcad Bay money receipts
and the elimination Of four-fifths OF
the best cars and luvorite drivers
before the finish or the race. was
the one thing needed to open the eyes
Of the public TO the fact that OF the
seven big speedway plants In the
country only TWO have II chance to
more than pay RUM ug expenses.
The fortunate two were constructed
on an economical basis and require
no huge sums each year for interest.
taxes and maintenance
Another reform that must come
to pass before automobile racing on
large scale will bee successful is
In the matter OF subsldzing the start

squeezing them for eNOrb tant en-

their equally famous mounts draw
the people into the speedway gates.
