demonstrated an ability to average
from II to 16 miles to the gallon, even
at a sustained speed of nearly 80 miles
an hour. L~ubricating oil was used in
similarly parsimonious way. Reserve
water was unnecessary. And non
stop runs began to be recorded.
Racing men roughly estimated that
a car loses a mile by a full stop of
merely momentary duration. Each
minute spent at the pits loses the car
over a mile more. The race cars OF
the present are virtually of equal
speed. For the first time, efficiency
and economy are playing a big part in
determining the winner.

Is NEW AUTO RACE
FACTOR

The motor racing season of 1915 has
already developed a distinct novelty
the nonstop speed performance of 800
miles or more.
At Corona and at Venice, Barney
Oldfeld in a Maxwell car ran the en-
tire d~istance-301 and 305 miles re-
spectively-without pausing for a Sec
ond in his mad career. The Corona
fc average of nearly sc miles an hour.
The Venice race was over a slower
course but the nonstop feature en-
abled Oldfeld to win from Billy Carl
son, also in a Maxwell, but who spent
a few seconds at his pit.
Carlson also established a nonstop
running the 300 miles of the Point
Iona Road race near San Diego with
out h~esitating at any stage, losing
first place by a matter of seconds
only.
These performances have been
startling to racing man and designers
alike. They have tactily served notice
that the time is not far distant when
no driver can hope for victory unless
his car is able to go through the whole
distance of it's ace without a tire
change, a replenishment of supplies
or a stop for any mechanical trouble
whatever.
Such a feat would have been impos-
sible to the speed demons of a year
ago. Even now it is almost revolution
airy. That speed cars should be built
to any other requisite than mere
speed would have been esteemed hear
say in former years. 1t must soon be-
come a creed. For the light, efficient.
well balanced, nonstop Maxwells ask
no odds of any of their rivals in pure
speed, adding to their ability to roll
fast, a faculty to keep rolling which is
almost fatal to opponents hopes.
With the heavy racing cars of earl
Ter years, economy of gasoline and oil
was a minor consideration, due to the
fact that frequent stops were neces-
sary on account of tire trouble. A
pause at the pits for tire changing was
thus made the occasion for tank re-
Punishment, without additional loss of
time.

Present day racing cars are so much
lighter that tire wear is less rapid. So
thoroughly has the problem of balance
and lightness been worked out in the
Maxwells that in more than 5000
miles of travel at high speeds in prac-
tice and competition on the Coast cir
cult during the winter, but n tire
change was necessary at the race
track.
Economy in supplies which had been
incorporated into the Maxwell design
by Chief Engineer, Ray Harroun, then
became a tremendous asset. A 30 gal
lon gasoline tank would, it was dis
covered, carry ample fuel for 800
miles of racing. The care, in fact,
