Meyer, still young looking,
thrilled the Indianapolis crowds
in 1923, 1888 and 1896, with high
powered averages of 9948, 104.14
and 109.06 miles-per-hour, re-
spectively, on the brick track
The former champion says he
has no criticism to make of Eu-
ropean m o tors. Some are
wonderful" he says. Look at
John r. Cobb's record speed of
1874 miles-per-hour at Bonneville
Flats, Utah, last year. Some en-
CINE there" But, he says, most
European engines are built to the
requirements of European rae
ing.
These regulations hold down
power. Until there is a change,
and an international formula in
all rules and regulations is set
up, you can't have big interna-
tional races"
The same view is shared by
Robert Brayton of the American
Automobile Association. I'VE
want international drivers in the
contests we sanction. But under
present rules, there is little here
to interest them except the
Indianapolis classic. 1t is un-
reasonable to expect many to
come over for just one big race"
he says, adding:
''Of course, just now there is
the fact that few Europeans
could afford to race in America
anyhow. But if rules were
changed so engine sizes every
where were standard there could
be more important events in
racing"
Illustrating just how big auto
racing has become in America,
Brayton says more than 100000
persons watched the Indianapolis
race last year. That was big
ger crowd than witnessed any
other single American sports
event"
Brayton declares that SGT u. s.
! races in 1948 took in $4,000, 900 in
admissions, and prizes were
awarded totalling $1,537, 900, not
counting individual awards given
bv industries. 1t is estimated
there are now more than LOO
American racing car owners,
drivers and mechanics.
At Indianapolis last year, 70
cars tried out in the qualification
tests and 80 were entered. The
race was won by Maurie Ross OF
South Bend, Ind.
Besides indianapolis, other big
races are held each year at Mil
waukee, Wise; Arlington Downs,
Tex; Langhorne, Penna.; Spring
field, Ill: and Du Quoin, III. All
these are on dirt tracks. Another
event is an annual dash up Pixies
Peak, a road race. Last year, at
Cl6DS dis, IN. -; q NAOoo NoAA
try race was held in which sev-
eral European cars were featured.
In the west, Northern Califor-
MIA MIG car club was formed this
year, and held an 80-mile race
through mountainous terrain
with the fast little British car.
Asked about the future OF
cross country racing Brayton
/ says, Unlike Europe we have
very little space for it in the
United States. Most of our road
ways fall under police sapervis-
ion and state law, prohibiting
speeding, But interest is grow
ing"
Brayton also reveals that small
