I ' p. nrn-rmt Tt service, city or country trips, phone 44 Two records over the most gruelling courses in the natioa have heen captured by a new Oldsmobile stock car. . Within a week a brand new car taken from a shipment from the factory smashed all previous records on the Pike's Peak and the Lookout Mountain-Hear Creek Canon runs. These two routes are consider ed tbo hardest road tests possible to apply to any automobile. Tbey embrace steep grades, tortuous curves and switchbacks, steep descents and short straightaways where quick acceleration is im perative if record time is to be made. As a result of the natural handicaps to be encountered, every part of an automobile is called upon to give maximum ser vice pulling power, speed, quick pick-up, roadabllity, stamina of chassis, and positive and strong steering and braking power. The new Oldsmobile had been driven less than 2,000 miles, when it was started over the Lookout Mountain route with "!ovd Clymer of Denver driving. It was a regular Btock car except lnai the top bad been removed to decrease wind resistance. The Lookout Mountain and Cir cle route is 67 miles long - and contains 412 dangerous curves, many of them of the "hairpin" variety. The first leg of the trip, from Denver to Golden, up a gradual grade, ten miles long, was made In 1 1 minutes. From Golden to the top of Lookout the grades run from 6 to 14 per cent, a climb of 1737 feet up the fare of the mountain on a road that is one continuous series of switch back turns. This six miles was made in 11 minutes, and only for a short distance was It neces sary to use second gear, which Is considered one of the most re markable featurea of the run. The third leg to Morrison Is regular mountain driving, up and down and around. This 28 miles was made in 39 minutes. The last leg Into Denver, 13 miles. was made In 15 minutes. The entire- time of the run was one hour, 10 minutes and 9 seconds. The average speed was 44.91 miles per hour. .The Oldsmobile clipped l.,m4n ute and 4 seconds from the best previous record. On September Mb, one week later, Clymer piloted the Oldsmo bile up the Pike's Peak course In 28 minutes, 49 seconds, the fastest time ever made by a stock car. This run is 121 miles long and the grade rises approximately a mile In that distance. The ele vation is 9,160 feet above sea level at Crystal Kails, where the run starts, and Is 1.41ft feet at Look Behind, Mister! 66 ( the Commander-in-Chief of one of the three , biggest builders in the world of first-quality auto mobiles is responsible for that statement.
