Master Spesdstsr and Tire
Maker Says 1922 Will Be
Banner Track Year.

Barney oidfield, master spsedstsr
and former king Of racing drivers
says 1929 will be the greatest year
for auto races ever recorded In the
annals of the speedways.
at used to be-" said Oldfieid'
that folks thought the best seats
at the big races were the boxes
across from the pits. There they
could see the quick work OF the
mechanics when tires blew out. ana

Now. however. tire building has
advanced to the stage that QUO.

. matter OF official record.
Speaking Of the probability OF tne
Indianapolis speed tournament TINS
year receiving some foreign entries,
Oldfield said this was UP to the
sportsmanship Of the foreign driv-
ers. He said, too, that much de-
pended on the interest of manu-
facturers.
I'm the early days OF racing
said Barney, the foreign drivers
came over to American with their
cars and won practically everything
in sight. But the American drivers
and engineers were game, and al.
vanced to the point where 1t caused
foreign folks to do lot Of guessing.
THE fact that the well'known
speed demon, Jimmy Murphy, went
to Europe in July. 1921, and clean:
ed the Grand Prix. the classic OF
European racing motordom. racing
Dusenberg equipped with Old
field tires, has. in my opinion,
spurred the foreign racers to fur.
Their eagerness and greater zeal
than ever to reoapture honors. So
We may look for some real sur
prises.
"It IL a fact that the war gave
American engineers the opportunity
to develop the automobile. particu.
larry the motor, to an extent much
greater than ever dreamed OF in
Europe. or in America for that
matter. and as a consequence we
have now wonderful cars mechanic
ally, in tires. and in equipment
generally. -
81 surely hope the Indianapolis
cassie this year will have many
foreign entries. In fact, ] really
believe we shall see several dark
horses from across the pond"
