SPEEDING RULES FOR GRAND PR|X
A. H. RAGSDALE

Indianapolis, November 6-The me mechanical relations governing the an- nual 500-Inile automobile race at the h. dianapolis motor speedway last May were so successful that they have not only been adopted at all of the leading tracks and saucers in the United States, but will also serve as the model for the next French Grand Prix race, the first big postwar speed contest to be held in Europe, according to dispatches re- ceived from W. F. Bradley. foreign rep- resentative of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway company
 The French Grand Prix is road race over a distance of approximately 800 miles, and will probably be held in AL sace, near Strasbourg. The date has not been set, but the race will probably ne held in the middle Of the summer and sufficiently late to allow American cars to appear and to permit the return of the large vanguard of foreign drivers who are planning to invade Indianapolis for the next 50o-mile gasoline derby, which will be held on Monday, May % 1921
 The maximum piston displacement of cars entered in the Grand Prix will he three litres and the minimum weight 800 kilos. or 1.763 pounds. This approai- mates the restrictions regulating the en- tries of the last Indianapolis race, when only cars of 1S3 cubic inches piston dis placement, or less, with g. minimum weight of 1850 pounds were permitted to roll to the tape for the start of the thrilling race won by Gaston Chevrolet in 8 Monroe

 Experts from the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company of Akron. Ohio, wit messed the test run. which was made by Duplex truck to steady the effect of the punishment to the Firestone tires with which the machine was equipped.
 The truck employed in the test run tore around the speedway at an average of 89 miles per hour for continuous 24- hour period. The machine itself weighed 4,300 pounds and carried a 39O0-pound load. During the uninterrupted drive, it covered 935 miles. to which might be added 150 miles in preliminary tests. or a total of 0S5 miles, and at the conclu- sion of it's performance, without stopping, roared over one lap of the track in 3 minutes 26 2-5 seconds, a speed of 445 miles per hour.
 The average weight on each tire was 1,570 pounds for the front and 2,562 on the read. In order to reduce the liability of heat generation to a minimum, the tires were inflated to 100 pound pressure. The slight temporary increase indicated not only the value of gum between tread plies. but showed also that higher pres SufeS than ordinarily recommended are an aid in preventing heat generation, :
 The appearance of the tires al the fin ish of the gruelling run was entirely sat isfactory. The 35x5 ribbed Firestone Pneumatic Giant Cords showed the same type of wear as is noted on racing tires, the cross wear at angle with the tread caused by the turning of corners in- the same direction. There was no indication whatever of wear on the 3Sx7 non skid rear tires which might easily have been cleaned up and returned to stock
 The remarkable test was real achieve mcnt for the tires and the truck, because the speedway was in poor condition and was no better than ordinary hard-suf- faced roads On certain stretches it was
