RIVAL DRIVERS TO BATTLE IN
40 LAP MAIN event TONIGHT
AT IMPERIAL SPEEDWAY

Feuds, lacking at the Imperial
fairgrounds race track for several
months, threatened to flare up
again tonight as Hobe Herrick and
Frank Hetzel prepared to battle for
top honors in the 40 lap main event.
Herrick has outlasted Hetzel in
majority of races this season at
the midget speedway but the ver-
satile Yuma speed pilot has vowed
revenge in tonights duel.
Hetzel is noted for his following
tactics, in which he tails a leader
for 35 laps, then steps into the
lead. Twice he has overtaken Her.
rick this season, but on four occa-
sions he has failed to win.
Pike Meadows, Bob Douthitt, Doc

duel for first place. They'll prob
ably be fighting for second" Ken

The new star bears the odd

silent about her chances to win
the title as is the 1T" in her first
