William RAIDER Sets New Marks
in Car Equipped With 265
h. p. AeropIane Motor

All existing worlds circular track
records up to 10 miles have been
broken by William RAIDER driving a
Packard equipped with the new 265
horsepower. airplane twin six motor
designed by ]. G. Vincent, chief en-
gineer of the Packard Motor Car Co
During the speed trials held a week
previously several records were brok
en-, but all of these have been bettered
The time came close to the records
on the straightaway course at Day
tona beach, which are the fastest
times ever set by automobiles. The
kilometer, the one and the two mile
records still stand for the Daytona
course, but the five-mile record was
bettered by the Packard.
1t is probable that the car will be
taken to Salt Lake and tried out on
straightaways on the salt beds, which
are said to be extremely fast.
AS in the previous trials of the
Packard, mark was made we'll up
on the track, as the car could not
hold the turns at the terrific pace
RAIDER set if he drove close to the
turns. The distance travelled for each
of the laps was 400 feet more than
the regular two miles which is cred
tied for each lap.
The fastest pace set by the car was
for the quarter-mile, which was done
in 60 seconds, at the rate of 1904
miles per hour. The half-mile was
made in 1895 seconds, or 129 miles
per hour. -. ..-~
For the kilometer a record of 1885
was set, and for the mile 2S.76 Sec
onds, 125 miles per hour.
The other distances up to 10 miles
were made in the following time: Two
miles in 57.S1, three miles in 1855,
four miles in 1854, five miles in
2:24.66, or 1912 seconds faster than
Hemery's records in the Darracq at
Daytona; six miles in 2:53.27, seven
miles in 3:22.71, eight miles in 3:52.41,
nine miles in 4:21.52, and 10 miles in
4:50.SS, or at the rate of 1891 miles
for the distance
The best previous record for 10
miles was made by Milford in Hud-
son racing car in 7:54.40. RAIDER cuts
Mulfords time 1882.
Burman still holds the worlds rec
ords for the kilometer, the mile and
two miles, which he made at Daytona
in Benz on April %, 1911.
All of the fast records made on the
famous Brooklands oval in England
were beaten. Hemery held the half
mile record on that track, and Horn.

two and FIVE miles records. -

1t seldom occurs to the motorist
that he ought to strain his lubricat-
ing oil, but this should be done, never
theless. Most people rely on the
strainer in the funnel and many give
the matter no thought at all. The
result is that foreign matter carried
into the pump may clog it or cause it
to fail, besides clogging the strainer
in the pump.
