St. Every Mark From 75 to 250 rvilies 15 ornasneu in opeeu- " way Tournaments The feat of Earl Cooper., and Frank Elliott in breaking every world record from 75 to 2 50 miles at Culver City, Cal., speed way, Nov. 29, climaxed what la generally agreed has been the greatest year automobile racing has ever known, says R. A. Stran ahan, president of the Champion Spark Plug Company. New world speedway records were hung up ' daring the year for every distance from 1 1-4 miles to 600. The marks for pome of these distances were broken several times as the little 122-cubic inch cars whirled their way around the country's various speedways. Elliott was compelled to aver-4 age - tne tremendous speed ot 12.7 87 miles an hour for 2 50 miles to win this last 1925 race Had' Cooper's gasoline been suf ficient to carry him the entire distance, he and not Elliot would have, won. and in still aster time. .Six new world records are now on Uhe. books - of this Cnlver .City race. 'Cooper himself , set flve'of tnem. His qualifying time for one lap, made . two days before, the ra'ee started, was at the'1 rate of 111.5 -miles-an hour. His 'speed tor. the ffrst 75 miles wss 132.6 -miles an. hour; if or 100 miles 131.S; for 150 miles 130.7 and for 200 . miles 129.5 miles an hour ' -all of them new world' marks. Fifteen laps before the finish.- with less . than 20 miles to -go Cooper's gasoline tank, ran dry. So closely was ne pursued that his slowing, down for more" f nel cost him tour places. But his mis fortune acted as a tonic to Elliott, who whirled around the track fast enough to - wind up a mile ahead of Harry Hartz, in second place. , : The Culver City race also ended the greatest year in the . racing field ever enjoyed by a manufac turer, for Champion spark plugs were used in every winning car in every, major ,race the world over, with a single exception. Cars equipped with, them, in ad dition to setting up every one ot the score or mote, of . new world records, went through every race without change-a , performance undreamed of "even" three years ago. .In practically every race, every car to f inlsn was Champion equipped, according to Mr. fitran ahan. ; . - ObseTvers at the Culver City track say that tie race's two out standing features were the 'anili ty of the supercnargers to deliver higher continuous speeds jftian tvere evir made before, and, the ability of the ipark plugs, pistons and crankshafts to withstand the terriflc punishment they received because ( of these , new speeds. Supercnargers, previously able to dediyer. gas mixture to the cylin ders" at " four" pounds pressure, were geared np to 'make "delfvery pp . to; twelVe - pounds, and per formed rltb. remarkable efffcleny It was declared.'--.:' -.... , "; As a safety measure, the opera tor of a huge Chevrolet fenwer press must push a button with each hand before it will work.
