Peerless Makes Records
in Dealers Racing Game

I. P. Fetterman, driving a Peer
less Eight Especially, not only won
distinction when he broke the pro-
fessional track record in the 1121a
mile Invitation Dealers race on the
Uniontown Speedway July 4 with a
time of 1:13:40, but he appears to
have shattered all records in Deal
ers' racing events in the five con-
tests which he has entered on that
track during the spring and sum-
mer.
The total mileage of the FIVE
Uniontown contests, in which Fet-
terman has driven the Peerless Eight
amounted to 4141s miles. The first
was 90 miles, the next three were
112h miles. The first SO miles, the
next three were 112h miles each
and the fifth was the Australian pur:
suit race of 27 miles. The whole
414H miles of terrific driving were
made without a single stop for me-
chanical assistance; without a cylin-
/ der missing and without the power
| full motor ever becoming overhead
| ed. Furthermore, the last race OF
| 112R miles was run on seven gal
| Ions of gasoline, an average of ap-
| proXimately 16 miles to the gallon
! a remarkable record for a heavy
car.
In telling of his Uniontown Speed
way experiences at the Peerless fac
! tory the other day, Fetterman said:
| During all of my racing career
1 have never heard of any per.
| formance in a series of Dealers
j events which will equal that of the
Peerless Eight. 1 firmly believe thai
the car can run all day at an aver
age of 90 miles an hour without ana
mechanical difficulty" He then re-
| ferred to the statements made in the
foregoing paragraph.
A feature of the car, for which
Fetterman attributes a great deal o.
his success, is its unusual balance il
| construction, which enabled him tt
operate 1t without eXtraordinar!
strain on the mechanical parts. Al
an example of the perfect balance
he said that he had noticed that il
driving around the Uniontown tract
he always found himself on tn,
turns within six inches OF the sam,
| spot where he had made the turns OIL
previous trips around the oval.
Perfect balance in the construc
tion of heavy racing cars is a featur,
of construction which all racing mel
look for and pray for" said Fetter
man. "That a special stock ca
would embody this feature, to the eX
tent that the Peerless Eight does, /
certainly remarkable"
The total cash winnings for tn
Peerless Eight at Uniontown on Jul
were $1,460. The dealers rae
brought Fettarman $3.50, the tracl
title gave him $500 more and he wol
$500 in the Australian Pursuit Race

Arthur Klein, king of dirt track
drivers. Arthur won this title at the
Lincoln, Nebraska track, at the Neb-
raska semi-centennial celebration,
held June 12. He hung up new rec
ord for the twenty-five mile distance
on a dirt track by completing the
course in 80 minutes, AZ seconds.
Klein clipped a fat two minutes
from the previous figures made by
Bill Endicott.
Both drivers have been using
Dixon's graphite automobile lubri-
cants regularly When records are

on-lubricated car, for the great ma
I jority of the noted speed boys use
Dixon's and the winners are almost

friction no quarter and, when car
is on-lubricated, the man who
drives it can dismiss friction from his
