Speed of los Miles
Predicted by Aitken

That racing cars will attain the
speed better than 105 miles an hour
this year. was the prediction of
Johnny Aiken, the American Speed
way champion. During the Chicago
show, many motor officials paused
long enough TO see Aitken awarded
that title and the big cash prize that
went with il.
In speaking of his record of los
miles an hour Aitken said, Record
breaking as that speed was, il will
not stand long. True, I cannot tell
to-day Just what car or driver can
better it, but 1 am positive it will
be broken next summer. 1t will be
my natural ambition to beat myself. a."
Since 1904 I have been driving in
races; the first being stock car twenty
four events, when / was on the lob
with National on the Indiana State
fairgrounds in a round the clock ex-
hibition; hill climbs; road races;
speedway contests. 1 can remember
when we thought at the National fac
tories that We had reached the peak
OF speed. Then the foreigners came
along and showed us their dust, so we
kept on studying and working until
We in turn showed our dust to the
foreigners, one notable occasion be-
ing when Joe Dawson piloted the
famous National car (Which was
practically stock) to victory in the
Indianapolis Speedway five hundred
mile race.
