speed tests, only five remained.

cars taking the course this morn
ing and the trials were postponed
until late this afternoon.

with the present day motor of 916
cubic inch piston displacement.

In 1912 Joe Dawson crashed into
fame with his National, the historic
year when Raph De Palma's Mer-
cedes broke down on the 198th lap,
with De Palma leading and when
Ralph smilingly pushed his car to
the pits. In 1913 Jules Goux wheeled
his Peugeot to triumph.
In 1914 it was Rene Thomas who
found the pot Of gold in Delage.
In 1915 the popular De Palma drove
to victory in his Mercedes.
In 1916 it was the late Dario Resta
in Peugeot and in 1919, after the
war, it was the late Howdy Wilcox,
also in Peugeot.
The late CASTOR Chevrolet jock
eyed his Monroe into first place in
1920 and Tommy Milton followed
him in 1921 in a Frontenac In 1922
the late Jimmy Murphy, one of the
most colorful of the speed sport
tritmphed in his Muir
ply Special.
1923 Honor to Milton
Tommy Milton again rode home a
winner in 1923 in the seat of an H.
G. S. Special. Then in 1924 Lora
Corum and the late Joe Boyer
teamed in winning the event in a
Deusenberg Special. Peter De
Paolo crashed through in 1925 in a
Deusie and in '26 it was the flying
in a Miller Special.
Last year George Souders in an
other Deusenberg flashed under the
flag the winner of the
event.
The track was built in 1909 by
four Indianapolis men, Carl G.
Fisher, James A. Allison, A. G. New
by and the late Frank H. Wheeler.
Last year the track was purchased
by Detroit group of business men,
headed by Capt. Eddie v. Ricken-
hacker, American war ace, who
now is president of the worlds
greatest race course.
Millions of Brick Used

banked at 16 degrees, 20 minutes,
and the turns at SO degrees, 40

DRIVERS AFTER A
 NEW SPEED RECORD
Will EndeaYor to Beat M6
 Miles an Hour

Daytona Beach. Fla, Feb. Fl W- Possessed of a new mark to shoot at, automobile racing drivers here today had redoubled their energies toward surpassing all previous speeds at which four-wheeled vehi- cles have travelled along the ground.
 Frank Lockhart of Indianapolis and J. N. White of Philadelphia were seeking the proper combina- tion of motor temperament and beach condition which would per- init them to challenge the new time of 2O6.956 miles an hour set Sunday by Malcolm Campbell of London in his monster Napier Blue bird Special. ....
 Lockhart spun his comparatively tiny Stutz Blackhawk Special over the sands against the wind yester- day at an officially timed rate of 20023o46 miles per hour. but did not make the return trip, which would have made his an official try for the record. A trip in each di- rection over the mile course, for an average speed. constitutes an off cial mile.
New Britain herald., 1928-02-21

Ray keech likewise unlimbered the gigantic S6-cylinder machine belonging to White yesterday, but was forced from an official attempt by a minor accident which resulted in slight injuries to keech. White said last night the machine attain ed speed of more than 203 miles an hour" during its run, but that it's average over one way of the charted mile was cut to 1S6 miles per hour by the motor trouble which sent spray of live steam flying back over the pilot.
 Whites machine at present is un- der the ban of the American Au- tomobile association because it is not equipped with a clutch or re- verse gear and it's attempts will not be officially recognized until it has been made to conform to that body's standards.
