South African Track Ready
For Campbell's Speed Trial
VERNUK PAN, South Africa
(AP) A brand new racetrack of
tunbaked clay . In the bed of t
drted-up. lake 10 miles' wide and
20 miles long has been prepared
here for Ma. Malcolm Campbell't
attempt In February to set a new
peed record.
: The famous British motorist.
who las year achieved 20s. 95
miles an hour at Daytona Beach,
Florida, thus establishing a new
world's record for a. few weeks
nntll' the American driver, Ray
Keech beat It by about a mile an
hour, sailed from England, Jan
uary 18.
With Major Campbell are his
wife and two children, a dozen
mechanics and the Royal Auto
mobile club officials who r will
time his attempts. His luggage
consists of his famous racing au
tomobile, the Blue Bird, and his
Moth airplane. "
The. Blue Bird, which weighs
two and one-half tons, has had
certain modifications as to its
the dash, twin-beam headlamps
for highway or city driving oper
ated by foot control, theft-proof
door locks, and exclusively de
signed running board . mats. .
Upholstery' material In ' the
dosed models is of mohair,- cord
uroy, or velour in solid colors
matching the smart - new- Duco
combinations used on- the bodies, j
The open types are' upholstered In
Spanish leather with'; attractive'
rabrikold trim and with tops of
gray clothteal. - - 1
chassis since its appearance on the
Florida track. "It is more effi
cient, than ever," Major Camp
bell says. "It now embodies all I
know- about wind-cheating and
economy of power"
7 The car Is fitted with a 1,000
h. p. aero engine. It has only two
gears;
The British motorist expects to
register 220 miles an hour this
time. If he does he says he will
retire. If not he will go to Florida
and try to -beat his, own record
there.
Special streamlining Is a fea
ture of the Blue Bird, which is
constructed of a spedal lige met
al. Two gears give a minimum
racing speed of 60 miles an hour.
The car is started by pushing. It
has a flexible steering wheel, un
burstable oil and petrol tanks and
a detachable fin for direction and
stability
"I hnmt in tnaka the actual at-
Rempt in February," Captain
Capbell says, "and, of course, -1
hope to be successful."
There Is more behind Captain
Campbell's attempt than the
breaking ot-e .record. L
-1 am opingNiWald. "that.
whatever Jthe outcome of my at
tempt, it will give a fillip to' Brit
ish ears abroad. I cannot help but
feel that It will do much to pop
ularlxe British care In Africa. 1
have never seen the course, -but
am assured it is highly suitable. I
ft la true there are occasional
mirages, , which make a blade of
grass look like a forest, bui I
suppose there Is always some
thing."
f If Major Campbell establishes
a new world record he will win
back the Wokef ield cup from the
United States worth $5,000 and
income of $ 6,000 a year - for so
long as he is unbeaten, up to the
end of. 1930. .
