FANS TURN TO ALTOONA RACE Small Motors Expected To Have Real Test For Speed On .lune 12 Indianapolis, Juno 2. (United Press) Local racing tans will watch with Interest. the board track race at the Altoona. Pa.. speedway June 12. I’. P. Kramer, president of the Alt »na speedway who was here for the 500 mile race Monday, stated that the a1.5 cubic inch piston displacement motors will be given a real test at that time. "Here in Indianapolis." Kramer said, "the test is endurance. At Altoona the test will be speed and cars will be required to average 120 miles an hour to qualify for the contMt”. Following the completion of the local race in which Frank Lockhart qveraged but 95.885 miles an hour for 400 miles and victory, racing fans are rather dubious about the ability cf the 91.5 inch motors to make the required speed. Lockhart's fastest lap was only a trifle more than 117 miles an hour, fans say, and he made that in the elimination trials—not in the course of the race itself. The eighteen drivers entered in the Altoona rave include practically all the old drivens that appeared on the local bricks and Indianapolis race fans are ready to admit that few of this number stand a geat chance at making the qualifying speed of 120 miles an hour at Altoona. Kramer spent much time studying the efficient methods of handling the large crowds employed by local speedway officials. A great crowd is expected at the Altoona race and officials there wish to handle them as efficiently as possible.
