"I'll be back again next year, and hope to win." "I didn't win, but I had a lot of fun building my car." "Thanks to everybody who helped out on the race." These were some of their many remarks. The crowd of 20,000 people who lined the course from the start to the finish line, to watch 115 red-blooded American boys race, was Massillon's answer to the courtesy of the Chevrolet Motor Co.

Early this spring, Ben coaxed for a racer. He had worn out a scooter last year.

Finally Ben saw a racing model -'n a mechanical magazine. It was the type he desired, but he had ideas of his own and laid out his own design. He was about to start making his racer when The Independent announced the derby would be run here. Finish Just Before Deadline Ben was confident he had the right design to make a speedy car. He insisted his father to his cause and when registrations were opened Ben was the second entrant.

The'ri work on the car along the design made by Ben was started. Modeled along'the lines on an Indianapolis racing car, the hood made of flat iron, was rounded to give the least wind resistance. Laths, soaked in water to become pliable, were rounded over the metal hood and bolted to each side. Then another layer of wood and finally a composition were placed in position and bolted down to make the hood as it appeared in the Angie iron was used for the frame. Roller bearing wheels with pneumatic tires were placed on strong heavy axles.

The steering gear and wheel put into place and all left to be done was paint the car and pump up the tires. Ben selected a reddish brown for his color. Finally the tires were inflated with 45 pounds of air. The car was ready for inspection. Two hours before entry time closed, Ben's car was measured and weighed.

It met all requirements. The oar weighed 172 pounds, much lighter than some of the "machines" of other contestants. Demon For Speed Ben may be called a demon for speed according to his father.

The state highway officers will operate on the course at Akron.
