president, Chrysler Division, Chrys-
Ter Corporation.
This high-perfOrmance cOmbina-
tiOn enabled the drivers to accele-
rate rapidly out of the turns, reach
remarkably high speeds on the
straightaways and save tires on the
turn. The new, anti-rOll front sus-
pension, introduced on our 1854
models, contributed to high lap
averages by allowing safe per-
foTmance at high speeds through
the corners" Quinn said.
Wilbur Shaw, Speedway presi-
dent, called the event "the great
est stock car test in the world"
This run is exceptionally signi-
ficant in its meaning as to the safe
ty and durability of tOday's stock
automobile, as the whole 2,155 miles
was run in a continuous 24-hOur
grind rather than with overnight
stops where repairs can be made
as is done in some road races, -

the second recruited to fight the
French, to make the trip up from
Hampton Roads, Va. Braddock
had put ashore there February 20
of that same year. Their purpose
was to wrench the New World from
France and her Indian cohorts.
Braddock moved northward
through Fort Cumberland and AL
exandria, Va. He left Alexandria
April 10 arriving at Owens Ordin-
airy the following afternoon. The
Army camped on the spot where
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
station now stands. The General
himself spent the night in the
tavern. According to the diary of
his officers "about two o'clock we
stopped at one Laurence Owens, Is
miles from Rock Creek and eight
miles from the upper sources of
the Potomac"
Among Braddock's officers, his
tory reveals, was 22-year-old
American, whose name was George
Washington. Prior to leaving the
British Isles, Braddock had invited
him to join his military family with
the rank of Colonel. The General
thought very highly of the young
Virginian. He was heard to re-
mark that Washington, along with
Benjamin Franklin, was one of the
greatest men. in the American
Colonies. However, he was pre-
