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
