power. Would you like to take
a run down the strip in it?"
So far, the Rambler has
been good for any dare.
We got to the starting line
and he flexed his cylinders.
They responded with mighty
explosions.
"The idea," he said, lis to
see what speed you can
achieve in the last 100 feet of
the quarter-mile course. It's
clicked by the electric eye"
The starter pointed his left
forefinger right at Bob's eyes.
Then he leaped, raising his
flag. The Rambler braced him
self, fearing a broken neck.
But it wasn't like that
The car started smoothly
enough. The Rambler watched
the speedometer. 1t was APP
preaching so, and we were
still in first. Bob tramped on
the clutch and threw it in
second. There was a slight but
agonizing scream of protest
from the gears. But they
meshed. We were nearing 90
and the end of the run when
Bob threw it into high. An
other scream from the gears
but they did not fly apart.
AS we crossed the finish line,
Harry Davis. the flag man,
leaped high in the air and
waved his big checkered flag
with the vigor of victory. 1t
was Just as If we had finished

The loudspeaker announced
that we had hit 94.7 miles an

The
Rambler
Takes q Drog
With q Hot-Rodder
By GEORGE KENNEDY

0AOAN6AN AAA4ANANA@A@
1t was Sunday, and the
Rambler was driving south
from Washington, in Mary
land, between fields Of corn
and tobacco and long stretches
of scrubby woods.
At last, near Aquasco, deep
in Prince Georges County, he
saw the sign he had been
looking for. 1t was on an arrow
pointing to the left and on
it was lettered, Drag Races"
A young man of Italian
origin stopped him at the gate
m arked Admission $1.13,"
then waved him on.
"Al is waiting for you at the
grandstand," he said.
Until he got to the strip,
more than half-mile through
the woods, the Rambler, 81,
didn't exactly know what a
drag race is.
1t is what you can do in a
hot-rod in a quarter of a mile
from a standing start.
The strip was a fairly level
thick black top stretch more
than 30 feet wide through
sandy hillocks and scrub pine.
Alfonso Procopio, a Seat
Pleasant builder who owns it,
said his investment was
$4,000.
The Rambler was introduced
to Jim Dyer, 10, president Of
the Headers, a hot-rod club
Of Oxon Hill, Md, which OPP
crates the track.
