no expense in putting the track
In first class condition. The
track has granite surface and is
rated ideal for broadcasting
style of the average motorcycle
racer.
Entries are coming in from all
parts of the country so there is
a possibility that an elimination

if too many riders are signed up,
time trials will eliminate the
slowest riders.
Local competition is running
high with eight entries from
Medford and Ashland. Frank
Carter, a local boy, who has been
out of the racing circuit for
awhile, will be back in form and
should be a leading contender in
