Cupboard Mechanics
Beating Customers
Cause Protests

Oficisls of the National Outboard
Racing Commission have another
headache. They are receiving a
stream of complaints from drivers
about the practice of professional
mechanics ,otherwise known as en-
CINE hopper-uppers) entering races
and taking prizes from the lads
who have just paid them good
money to soup up" motor.
The complainants call attention
to the rule which forbids engine
manufacturers to support so-called
factory drivers and declare that
they see no difference between this
practice and its modern counter
part.
The factory driver went out of
outboard racing years ago, and his
departure was the occasion for any,
thing but mourning. Nowadays
there are few specialists who
charge fat fees for doing things to
a stock motor to make it go faster.
These same specialists, many Of
them at least. then come out on
the race courses with their own
hot engines and pin back the
ears of their customers.
