Drag Races This Sunday The sound of powerful en gines and smell of burning tires will usher in Southern Oregon Timing association's second drag race slate of the season Sunday on the Camp White strip. Time trials will commence an hour earlier, at 9 a.m., as a result of increased contestant turnout two weeks ago. No entries will be accepted after 12 noon and eliminations will be held after lunch. Medford dragster pilot, Noel Black, top-eliminator from the opening drags held two weeks ago, looms as a top threat to any and all comers. His potent dragster named "Skylark 220 has turned in times of over 130 miles per hour recently and observers feel that at any time he may hit the right combination of tuning, gear ratio, tires, etc., that will en able him to reach speeds high er than any ever attained in the Northwest. Should he, or any other en trant, break the present strip record of 134.24 MPH they will receive as added prize a $50 savings bond. Each drag that this record does not fall an additional $25 bond will be added. g jifc c 9BfB iittfl j iff You can cam on Bmw mAi to tXe enjoyment of your leisure moments.
