Stwra The sixteenth annual international sweepstake popularly the 500 mile race is Just two weks in the offing, for it will start at 10 o'clock Wednesday. May 30. A study of the entry list reveal the fact that the race should be one of the most interesting that ever has graced the 3,000 000 bricks. True, it is that the roectatorx are going to miss the riarg style of Frank Lockhart.

who alwavs nrr them a show wherever he raced. wo one can say deflnitelv wht racing driver will do after he start a race. ven toe driver sometimes, with a program definitely mapped out. sees a reason to change when the race get under way. if Pete De Paolo in his riving Cloud and Leon Duray in his Miller Special so desire, it is rrunn.

able to suppose that one of them will ieaa tne race eany. one thing is certaincollecting S10Q every minute and omu is not vo De sneezed at, and being the leader for 100 laps, or half the with the consetruent SI 0.000. is Just as good as driving for 200 laps, whining no lap prize money, but finishing second. The lap prize money once earned is earned. Second place is only assured at the end of the race The accessory money that goes with second place brings the total fsr beyond the 10,000 speedway prize, but.

even so, the chances for failure are greater. Perhaps a threat to the two already mentioned will be one of the Marmon Specials, maybe Pete Kreis. Another threat may be Cllf Woodbury in hi front drive Boyle. Still another possible threat, though not so likely, will be Bergere, In his front drive speed wagon, with which he already has done more than 119 mile an hour. If by any chance Earl Cooper, in charge of the Marmon team, should change his mind and finally decide to drive the third of the Marmon entries, he, too, might be considered a threat at the lap prize money.

Cooper says he has not decided who the third driver win be. Pete Krels and Johnny Seymour are fixtures on two of the Marmons. Johnny will be taking his first whirl at the four wheel game, but he knows what speed is, for he has been the country's outstanding motorcycle rider for years. In speaking of front running possibilities, it might be well to put Babe Stapp down, if he drives the rear driven Phil Shafer entry. Babe probably will have enough steam in his car to battle for supremacy, particularly if neither DePaolo nor Duray wish to collect the lap prize money right off the bat.

Besides having the steam. Babe also has the will and the driving ability. G. M. wmiams to the Fore.

Meanwhile, speaking of tha Mar men. It Is good Dews to bear that G. M. William. 1U nrealdent.

If it is broken it probably will be done by either Pete DePaolo or Leon Duray. i i Went Long New. It wont be long now before uni formed guard will be filing around the garaces tapping loafers without a pass on the shoulder and asking them to get on the other side ox the track. Boyle Valves Doe at Speedway. CUX Woodbury expected to have his three Boyle Valve racing cars at the speedway today.

Woodbury and Fred Comer will drive two front drive Jobs, and Dave Evans will handle a rear wheeler in the Boyle crew. Woodbury has had Ernie Olsen conditioning the cars and Olsen is as good a mechanic ever lifted a wrench. Woodbury had his first ride in a front wheeler a couple of days ago. It win be inter esting to see whether he can wheel the tractor type as fast a he could the rear wheel Jobs. Woodbury has quite a reputation on the dirt and placed third at Indianapolis in 1928, but did not finish last year.

The Boyle Valve Special outfit Is one of the most elaborate racing team in the field todar and will campaign the dirt tracks throughout the season in style. Superchargers.

They are. in effect, fans revolving at high speed, usually about five times motor speed. When a motor turns 7.000 revolutions a minute the supercharger is forced to turn 35.000 a minute. In turn, by turning at such speed it sucks the gas in faster and thus induces the motor to turn faster.

When it comes to delicacy, almost any driver 'will agree that there is nothing more so in the world. Backfires are their deadly enemy. It is not unusual for a driver to be highball Irg it down, the homestretch or going through a corner cf the track when all at once the supercharger decides that it will' blow up and blow up It does. After which the driver curses more or less softly, usually less softly the mechanic get to work and several days later the car is once more out on the track. There is tremendous pressure in the supercharger for its light construction and besides the aluminum vanes which revolve at such high speeds there are five ball bearings which run themselves raggedy in their attempt to keep everything rolling along.

However, since the superchargers have given the motors so much additional speed the drivers have been puttln; up with them and cussing them since 1924, when the Duesenberg outfit ran them at Indianapolis for the first time in any race in America, It is true a year before that the Mercedes cars from Germany came to the track equipped with them. 1 Lockhart's Record Allowed. Word comes from England, that after considerable delay the record of 164.009 miles an boor Frank Lockhart made en Maroc dry lake. In California last spring has been allowed as an International record. It will be recalled that Frank took bis speedway racing car to the dry lake bed and running it Just as he did on the speedway made the mile ne way at 157.549 miles an hoar and on the return trip averaged 171.021 miles an hoar.

This Is the fastest time ever made by a 91 class motor. No record made in Larope has even approached it. Koehlert Ready to Go. Henry Koehlert. who was so severely injured on the southwest turn in the race last year, is back again with his red Elgin Piston Ring Special ready to take a whirl at the coming race.

He says he ha been working on his car all winter and that it 1 ready to No Freak' a Yet. There has been a conspicuous absence of freak cars at the track this year.

Milton Burning Midnight Electricity. Tommy MJlton's garage is burning considerable electricity after night these days.

AT WHEEL OF FRANK LOCKHART'S CAR. fvoraW sentiment wCl ride with Tony Gulotta when he wheels the Stutx Special racing car through the 500 mile race. Tony will share with Mrs. Frank Lockhart the money he win.

Tony and Frank were good friends and two months before Frank was killed on the sands of Daytona Beach he told Tony that he could drive one of the two Lockhart cars. In death the arrangement will not be changed. The car is entered officially by J. R. Bergamy, of Cincinnati.

Frank' uncle. 3 Lof lLh's dcth broke up what would have been one of the best teams ever seen on the local track. Lock hart, a wizard at racing design and a wizard at driving, owned two car. These car were so much alike that Frank always said he had no choice between them. With one of them the one Tony will drive Lockhart had set a world record of 164.009 miles an hour on the dry lake at Muroc.

CaL, lat spring, speeding along m.921 miles an hour one way over the course. This worlds speed record came after he had won the 1926 Indianapolis race in the same car. at which time he took the wheel for Pete Krels, it owner, when the latter took sick before the race and could not drive. eUrted the '500 mile race in the car and set the pace for more than half the race win 111; he threw connecting rod and had to quit. A a member of the'stut engineering staff Lockhart named his two cars Stutz Specials, with himself and Gulotta nominated as the drivers.

It was expected by the race wise fan that Lockhart would start out In the 1928 500 mOe race resolved to gather the lap prize money and then if his motor held, go on after first place prize money. Tony, it was figured, would set a steady pace regardless of lap prizes In the hope of winning the race or finishing second if Lockhart was so fortunate as to win first. But all this is changed now. Tony will go out resolved to do his very best to collect some money for the widow of his friend. It is not regarded likely that he will be Interested in the lap prize money.

The car ha everything on it that Frank had doped out for Increased speed. Chief of these is Lockhart' patented Intake manifold cooler, which, it Is generally conceded, added five or six miles to the car' speed. Bergamy. It is understood, win be in the Gulotta pit to aid In whatever way he can. If Lockhart's spirit rides with young Gulotta.

Malcolm Campbell is now in a row with racing authorities in England. He wishes to try to break Ray Keech's Florida record on Pendlne sands, and the racing officials "sav that it is too dangerous for him to attempt to make a record there where hi speed must exceed Kerch's record of 207.55 miles an hour. CamnheU brcke the Se grave world's record of 205.79 by guiding his 000 horse power Bluebird over Daytona Beach sands at a speed of 206.85 miles an hour on February 19. 1928. On April 21 Ray Keech in a three motored car.

the Triplex, broke Campbell's record. There, are no beaches In England comparable to Daytona beach and Campbell has made various attempt ever there to set new world's rec orns. The best he could do was 114 rnilrs an hour. Parry Thomas, one of England's greatest drivers, lost his uie on the Pendlne sand last year attempting to set a new; record. It iiw1 warded, likely that Campbell will be able to make the officials change their minds, since they usually are a trifle more adamant oa their decisions than our officials.
