. During; the four "day run, the
If V Willys-Knight established a gaso-
s nae mileage of slightly more than
15 mlle.9 to the psllon, despite' the
fact that more- than .seventy per
cent of the going, was over loose
rock and rough dirt roads, includ

The spectacular run started at
Sari s, Bernardino, c o n t i n u e d
through the Redlands, up Mill
Creek; road .and; Clarkft Lakeafter
passing through the rugged Santa
Ana Canyon to Big Bear, Lake
with an elevation of approximate
6800 feet where the trail wound
about the south shore of the lake
across the new government forest
road to "Arrowhead Lake, thence
along the crest of the San Ber
nardino mountains through Crest
line and Waterman Canyon down
through the valley. The elevation
daring the run varied from 1000
to 8000 feet. above sea level, but
the carburetor, adjustment of the
Willys-Knight was not changed to
meet the' changes of altitude. ;
While the run was not staged
to set any speed record for the
course, final tabulation Jjy news
papermen' who served fudges
of the run estblished that the car
had, averaged 19 miles an hour
during the' four -days and nights.
said to have been a record for
such mountainous travel. More
than 200 miles to the quart of oil
was the mark hung up by this
Willys-Knight which as piloted; by
two employes of the factory
branch in Los.. Angeles.
Throughout the entire course
controls were established where
uel "was 'replenished and drivers
cnangea ior tne next grina, a
time limit being established for
the distance between controls.
During-the 1557 miles the engine
was not allowed, to stop, a re
markable feature. '.when consider
ing the fact that but twice during
the entire 96 hour grind did the
motometer register the equiva
lent of summer heat despite the
gruelling grades. More remark
able was the addition of only four
quarts of water to the radiator
supply during the entire drive,
newspapers claiming that most
cars boil vigorously over the tor
tuous grades and hairpin turns of
the course. So interested were
Californians in this unique test of
demonstrating the motor efli
ciency and economy .of the Willys-
Knight that a Los Angeles broad
casting station, receiving reports
directly from the drivers on their
respective turns, announced the
progress of .the run to thousands
of residents of the Golden Gate
and Los Angeles country. News
papermen' were unanimous in
their commendation of the excep
tional performance of(the Willys
Knight whri tlrey declared, was
thoroughly demonstrated over one
of the most difficut-drives in that
part of California.

"Tommy Milton surely should
like the race track at Charlotte,
N. C.,' says R.i A. Stranahan, pres
ident of the Champion Spark
Plug Co. "In three 250-mile AAA
races held there to date, the vet
eran speedway marvel has won
two firsts and a third, giving him
plenty of glory and a handsome
share of the prize ' money each
time." .
Milton broke what was then the
world's 250-naile record at the
track's inaugural race Oct. 25,
1924 averaging 118.17 miles ah
hour. In the second Charlotte
event, May 11, 1925 Earl Cooper
beat that mark with 124.6 miles
an hour after Milton had set an
even faster pace early in the race.
In this third race, Nov. 11, "Smil
ing Tommy" ran the -mark up to
124.3, a new track record, and
one which closely approaches his
own world record of 126.89 miles
an hour, made at Culver City, Cal
ifornia, March 1 1925.
Milton, in wires to the Cham
pion Spark Plug company and in
discussion with its officials, has
frequently ascribed part of his
racing success to . the greater
speed and accelerative abilities he
finds In Champions.
"The race wa3 another clean
sweep for cars equipped with
Champions," says Mr. Stranahan-
Every car to finish was powered
with them and not a jingle one
of our spark , plugs was changed
during the entire race. It was the
29th Champion victory in major
speed and, endurance contests the
world over in slightly more than
two years a feat never before ap
proached l.y any other automotive
product."
