Cal., speedster. and Duke Nalon. another heavy-footed California pilot, were the crowd pleaeers in the final eight hours allowed for qualification tests. Mays, whose Bowes racing team car troubled with bad shock absorbers, hud threatened earlier to top 130 miles per hour, thus winning 51,500 in qualification prize awards. He toured the track early yesterday, and it wa* obvious he was dissatisfied with his performance, ranging around 128 miles per hour, latte in the day, after he had put substitute parts in bls car, he came out to make another test.
