That was the random opinion of those 4,000 who spent nearly five hours of their Memorial Day at the Fox Theater. There were several waves of enthusiasm sweeping through lineup of drivers was Introduced.

The element of suspense, largely however, was confined to about two minutes. This came during the Ill-scarred "first" lap at which time a car skidding crash sent 16 machines back to the pit row and out for the afternoon. As a whole, however, those people visited by The Constitution's poll thought the June 26 'Championship 300 at Atlanta International Raceway would be successful. Each person expressed belief that a large crowd would attend the classic which, the 6econd year in a row, will feature Indy-type cars. One spectator, wishing his name withheld, expressed an eagerness for the coming 'Championship 300' in Atlanta.

"The track at AIR isn't as long as the one at Indy and I feel this will definitely do a lot toward causing more excitement. The drivers proved here last year that they can really go on the highbanks. Yes sir, I'm looking forward to June 26." Here's what the public said: ED COSTLEY, 922 Lullwater "Those fellows had a lot of hari luck. I found It especially boring during the wait for the seconi start." MRS. W.

S. MASHBURN, 2875 Cascade Atlanta: "I didn't care for all the accidents at all. I'm not much of a racing fan." (She then excused herself and left the theater.) JERRY KING, 575 Warwick Atlanta: "I wouldn't pay to see it again. Might have been more exciting, though, had it not been for the wrecks. I'd rather see a good stock car race, though." simply no competition.

They are going to have to reconstruct the format for starting, put two cars abreast instead of three, or something. I feel that would cut down on the wrecks, expecially in the first turn, and make for a more exciting, interesting race." LORIN COPPOCK, 1914 Shall-mar Atlanta: "I found it quite interesting. I feel sure the AIR race will draw good."
