Campbell Has Car Prepared for Speed Run Cummings to Test Beach With Try at World's* Diesel Record. BV HENRY M LI MORE 1 nil.d Pr* ( *rr.\|H>ndrnt DAYTONA BEACH, Fla . March 1 —Riding the wing- of a nor'east blow that whipped the sras to furyfind sent the long combers rolling m to break and break again, March came to Daytona Beach today and threw down the gauntlet to Sir Malcolm Campbell. Give us on*' or two more days,** the winds seemed to howl, “and you'll have your speedway, your silver ribbon of death. I'll rake the sands, and I’ll pound 'em smooth; 111 give you a highway on which to give Bluebird her head.” Sir Malcolm answered the challenge Ju t before midnight, when th** wind was talking .t loudest, the little Briti h p* • and king slid behind the wheel of a fa t roadster, and rode the beach. H e studied it from the point north where he yells “contac and bood-by,'* to the southward tip. 11 miles away, where he pulls Bluebird up and circles round for the run to home. Has Speed Traps Set At the flni'h he was all business. He told his mechanics to prepare the big blue juggernaut which carries 2300-Horse power and a maximum of 335 miles an hour, under its bonnet. He asked city officials to the course, set the timing traps, explaining that while another day likely would be required to whip the b*ach into racing state, there was a bare rha nee the wind and waves might finish ahead of schedule. The mechanics reported the! $200,000 machine fit. Officials said th- course would be flagged and t rapped And so. if nature does j finish ahead of schedule, Campbell j Will nde today. And if not todav I the n tomorrow or Sunday, for the! bf-ach is swiftly reachnig perfec- | tion. Os course, a shift in the wind ; might upset Campbell’s hopes, but j this isn t, likely, for weather reports I call for another day of blowing. Campbell didn't find the racing i Mnp entirely satisfactory last night, j There were still rough, wet patches ; in the measured mile, the toughestj snd most important bit of the course, and there were still a few guilier. and depressions scattered, along the 11-nule runway. Sand Smoothing Rapidly But even Sir Malcolm, a pessimist of the first water, was pleased with the amazing improvement the wind of the last 36 hours had achieved. Tuesday the beach was a depressing series of bumps, sloughs, cement-likp ribs, treacherous coquina sand and shallow puddles. To drive a passenger car over it at a speed above 35 miles an hour was dangerous. Today, most i of the faults were gone, eliminated | bv the severe but healing hand of nature. Even if Campbell does not go today. the beach will hum to the song <>f racing tires for Wild Bill Cumitnings, Indianapolis speed ace, will fake out this Diesel for a try at the world s mark of 125 miles per hour | here a fortnight ago bv Dave Evans m a Diesel of a different make.
