for 500 miles. This years average
speed at lie Mans was ia miles
an hour.
International rules Insist that
sports cars must have doors on
both sides, a passenger seat and
carry a spare tire and headlight.
1t also runs on gasoline to differ
entiate from the ''hot-rod" which
gets out of this world by mixing
little benzene with its fuel.
There are two main sports car
activities, racing and rallying.
Racing is for the chosen few but
rallying Is a family affair and
includes the women and children.
Among the racing regulars
from the Rockville area are
George Parks, Bob Lautz, George
Bull, Jimmy Billiard, Lou Schroe-
der and George Elliott. An ex-
racer, Bob Yount does the an
nouncing at most of the local
races.
During the summer months
there are racing events almost
every week and representatives
from Washington have been
found as far away as Elkart Lake,
Wisconsin.
The track at Upper Marlboro
was built by $50 contributions
from people in the metropolitan
area and a number of special
events are held there throughout
the season.
This years national events are
scheduled for the first time be-
cause of the extension of the
course from one to two miles.
A sprint race and a six-hour
endurance race have already been
held. Sprint races are of 10 to
Is laps and the endurance race
starts with 35 laps After that
drivers can be exchanged and the
car can be refueled at any time.
Repairs must be made from what
ever is actually in the car.
One of the national events at
this track will be the third annual
MIG Car Club race scheduled for
August. The Washington region
of the SEGA will sponsor a ma.
tional race at the new track in
Danville, Va where the Presl-
dents cup is expected to be pre-.
sented by President Eisenhower,
Rallys are attended by most Of
the sports car club members. A
rally is a time-distance race with
specific destination and a mum.
Der of wierd variations on this
theme have been dreamed up by
the local organizers.
Meeting usually on Sundays,
the clans gather at one point, such
as the Jefferson Memorial or var
ious parking lots around town. At

Instructions sometimes come in

Another routine is to plot lati-

It's at this point that Charlotte
would like to resign as navigator.
Evidently her math is on the
same level as mine.
In fact, says Charlotte, there
are no end to the fiendish ideas
in rallying. Several times year
