At conference held last week in
Indianapolis, at which were present
officials OF the Sheepshead Bay Speed
way and Richard Kennerdell, chairman
of the contest board Of the American
Automobile Association, October 3.
1915, was the date decided upon and
granted for the opening race OF the
New York speedway, which is now
rapidly being constructed.
For the last few days Carl Fisher
and Everard Thompson, president and
manager, respectively, Of the Sleeps
head Bay Speedway, together with
David Beecroft, j. {. Nichols and Jo-
seph Baughton, have been IN consulta-
ton, settling the details for the IN
augural meet at Sheepshead Bay.
An informal agreement has been
reached, whereby the Indianapolis,
Chicago and New York speedways will
cooperate on a friendly basis.
Among the racing cohorts and mo-
torists gathered for the big Hoosler
contest there is enthusiasm over the
fact that New York has at last taken
TO automobile racing on a big scale.
With quite a number Of racing cars
unprepared 70 start at Indianapolis
and hardly likely to be ready for the
Chicago speedway meet in June, and
ether speed machines in the course OF
construction, indications point TO the
Sheepshead Bay race furnishing the
biggest gathering of racing cars and
drivers during the present season.
Already seventeen entries have been
received for the Chicago meet. The
racers will go there direct from Indian
apolis. as the course will be ready for
practice next week.
