Hardly had the echo of the hammer died away in the driving of the last spike which completed
the construction of the new motordrome at Los Angeles, when NickNikrent in a Buick-40 stock
car startled the world with a new 1-mile record. Nick had been impatiently waiting the com
pletion of the "pie-pan", and almost the moment it is finished, he goes on the board course for
a try out and reels off the one mile in 44 2-5 seconds, thereby redeeming his promise made dur
iilg his recent visit to San Francisco to smash all world's records to smithereens with a Buick-40.
