As the Chronicle goes to press an
POuncement comes from Ernest
Raughley, secretary of the Kent and
Sussex Fair Association that Lucky
Teter and his He'll Drivers, whose
activities last Monday night were
brought to an abrupt close by
heavy rain, will appear in front Of
the grandstand at the fair grounds
this afternoon, Friday, July 81, in
conjunction with horse racing and
George Hamid's Winter Garden Re-
Vue.
Heading the band of He'll Drivers
is Lucky" Teter, worlds champion
dare devil whose daring and skillful
manipulation of a stock automobile
through all the intricacies of stunt
driving has earned him the descrip-
tion by Grantland Rice as the "ner-
West man in the world" The apt
ness of this description is manifest
ed by the amazing dare devil as he
takes his automobile through all the
PAGES of angular ski-jumping, triple
ski-jumps, reverse spins, two wheel
drives, for what is now known as
Lucky" Teter's famous hell driY-
ing. Perhaps the most daring feat
performed by the maestro of thrills
himself is his famous spiral crash"
when he races his automobile
around the track at speed of
more than a mile a minute, runs two
wheels of the car up a 54-inch ramp |
way, and deliberately crashes it over
and over, remaining at the wheel.
Lucky" was the first man ever to
plan and execute a deliberate crash
of this kind and holds a worlds rec
ord of six complete revolutions
which was set in Birmingham, Ala
bama, on May II this year. The
stunt which, no doubt. requires the
greatest amount of skill in the hand
ling of a stock car is Lucky" Tet-
er's famous truck jump. A twO-ton
truck is placed on the track 20 feet
in front of a rampway which serves
as a take-Off. Racing his car around
the track, he runs up this rampway
and attempts to hurdle the inter-
vening space, clear the truck, and
land rightside up on the other side.
At the Municipal Stadium in Phila-
delphia last week. Teter set a new
record for this jump when he clear
ed the truck which was set at dis
tance of 20 feet from the end of the
iampway.
As an added feature to the after
Moons program is the famous race |
of flaming death" which is not 3
regular part of the He'll Drivers
due to the many dangers |
and hazards involved in It's success
Ful performance. A large board wall,
IL feet square, will be erected on
The track directly in front of the
yrandstand, and two smaller walls
J feet square, will be built on either
side of the larger wall. These walls
will be packed with excelsior and
saturated with gasoline. Lucky
Teter, in his stock automobile and
the two red devils" Daring" Dan
lei and Daredevil Dillon, on their
will race around the
rack and attempt simultaneously to
crash through these three walls -
Lucky" through the larger center
wall and the two red devils
the smaller side walls.
