LAUREL SPEEDWAY SHOWS
NEW DAY FOR MOTORDOM
Safety in Speed Exemplified by Con-
struction of Model Course
for Race Drivers.

They're here. The 1926 models in
racing.
Eager motorists who are awaiting
an opportunity to see automobile rae
ing in its latest garb will welcome
Americas heroes of the speedways
when they appear with their pigmy
cars at the Baltimore Washington
speedway next Saturday. According
to the speed demons themselves, no
automobile race track is better fitted
to display the new models in racing
than is this gigantic bowl midway
between the National Capital and the
Monumental City.
Racing cars are the forerunners of
automotive development. Every big
race paves the way for greater i'm
provement, and one of the latest dis
coveries of the speedways Is the prac-
ticability and desirability Of midget
cars.
At the Laurel track no driver will
be qualified to start until he has dem
onstrated his ability to cling to the
48-degree banked curves at 11S miles
per hour or better No driver can
hope to win the big purse of the day
unless he finishes with an average
speed for the 250-mile grind of at least
125 miles an hour. De Paolo finished
the Summer marathon at Laurel with
an average speed of 1888. but he is
back with faster car, determined to
break his own record and set a new
mark for speed and endurance.
Call for Greater Speed.
Specifications for the new models
call for greater speed. so that the 1926
racing machines may prove that the
fastest track in the world is too slow
Tor the latest products of such gen
fuses as DusenberG, Miller and other
specialists in the manufacture of high.
priced, high-speed mounts.
Along with mere mechanical i'm
provements, the new models in auto.
mobile racing include such significant
changes as public approval, greater
emphasis on the human factor in driv-
ing and safety, better traffic control,
increased courtesy and safety through
speed.

automobile racing was losing ground.

RECORD-BREAKING AUTOS
Tiny Racing Cars Used at Laurel
to Be Discussed at Cos
mos Club.

Attention will be directed to the
tiny race cars that set world speed
records when the Washington section
Of the Society Of Automotive Engi-

Cosmos Club.
Construction Of racing cars has been
chosen as the subject Of an address
and discussion as appropriate for the
