Delivery Car Wins Big Race
After Strenuous Army Service.
All Competitors Outrun BY War-Scarred Veteran Of
Many Campaigns. $4,000 Soldiers See
Speed Classic.

Merchants, farmers and other users
of light commercial cars who appre-
ciate what motorized equipment
means in the way Of quick and re-
liable service, will be interested in a
race story brought back from France
by discharged soldiers. As told by
Major Hayes Mcfarland, who went
overseas in command of the 311th
Supply Train, the story is repro
duced from Automobile Topics of
July IL.
"Those Memorial Day races at st.
Nazaire and the entirely care-free
performance Of Dodge Brothers
light delivery truck are still talked
Of wherever there are doughboys
who were coming through that port
about the first of June on their way
home. Four first places and two
seconds against a mixed field, out Of
six events scheduled, is a good score
for any car. Here the pride of the
311th Supply Train and the Motor
Transport Officers at Nantes, France,
in the little racer, which they rebuilt
in five days out of truck that had
been all over the battle fields and had
come finally to Nantes park. For the
car which represented Nantes at the
races at La Baule beach near st. Ma
zaire turned in just such score, af-
ter exactly that war experience.
Fifty thousand soldiers it is es-
timated, were waiting at st. Nazaire
to have their service records checked
up and the last animate traces of
their overseas service removed from
their persons. For Memorial Day by
way of celebration an automobile race
was plainly indicated, as the doctors
say. When permission was given
some three weeks before the event
there was a rush, to use the words
of an officer who was present, to build
racing cars in every Motor Transport
shop in st. Nazaire, and every town
within the limits of Base Section No.
l, S. o. s.. for which that well known
port is headquarters. Some forty
cars were finally entered, ranging in
size from the ever present four
whose name needs no mention to
skies, Fights and twelves.
Motor Service Park ''767' at Nam
ties picked the best material it had a
valuable, Dodge Brothers light de-
livery vehicle which for hard service
at the front, had been driven over
land to the park, where it was being
kept in general service. To make a
races out of it, the tenders and body
were removed, the wheel base short
ened to 100 inches, the compression
increased by planning down the cylin-
der heads slightly, reciprocating parts
hghtened, and a stock roadster gear
set substituted for the commercial
gear ratio already in place. With
The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1919-09-05

these few changes the car was ready
for its mile-a-minute performance in
races from one to 40 miles on beach
that was only seven miles long.
"In the first race, one mile against
time in field of ten starters the little
car finished second with a time of
53.4 seconds. 1t won the second race
Fl miles, free-for-all, with IS starters
showing twenty-one minutes, four
seconds for the distance and beating
cars considerably larger and usually
regarded as more powerful.
"The second days racing turned out
large crowd to cheer for the little
white racer with its red IN" in a
circle. The first race for the second
day was at IA miles for light cars
only. The Nantes entry won easily;
time Is minutes 1914 seconds. The
next race was a 49-mile free for all
with Is starters. Over this distance
the rough surface of the course had
chance to make itself felt, and one
of tlfS entrants turned over, killing its
mechanician and injrring its driver.
The race was won by composite car
our Nantes entry finishing second,
time 1901.
The third day of the race meet
promised double winning. The first
event was a mile against time for
light cars only, and this proved easy
for Park "767's" entry, the time being
so seconds flat. The final was fee
for-all with officers driving at AZ
miles. The earlier races had been
run with enlisted men at the wheel,
and the IN" racer had been piloted by
Sergeant Paul Harvey, with Ser
geant William Mowry as mechanician.
For the last event Lieut.. Noble Van
Burkleo replaced the Sergeants of the
31lth Supply Train. There were 20
entries and on the fourth lap, some
where between Fl and 2S miles on the
way home, the Dodge racer was a
mile ahead of its field when the race
had to be stopped on account of two
serious accidents.
ITO properly judge the time, it
must be remembered that the beach
at La Baule is only seven miles long
and narrow. The cars had to slow
down to something like Is miles an
hour in making the turns for races
longer than the distance. The course
was rough, too, and spotted with
bitches and bumps. On the last day
and, this is on the authority Of an of
ficer who knows automobiles intima-
tely. the car was in as god condition
as on the first"
"The car, Sgt. Harvey its driver
and Lieut.. Van Burkleo were cited in
a letter Of congratulation from the
commanding officer of the Nantes
area for their performance" adv.

The county candidates spoke here
the 10th of August. Messrs. Davis,
Appleby and Pendergrast engaged in
a spirited debate. They went after
each other in grand style, each ex-

decade. We do not approve Of such
campaign and we believe that it
will do more harm than good for the
party. -

from a general strike to an armed

the present imperialist order Of things
