Helping the Nevada Showers May Hold Down Dust At Speedway Jalopy racers and fans of this popular Rogue valley sport may get a little damp at this after noon's program at the Medford Speedway, according to the lo cal weatherman. When this was written late yesterday afternoon the prediction was for showers this morning but tapering off during the afternoon hours. Track officials said this would not hamper the races, in fact the morning showers might dampen the ground enough to keep down the dust that has been a problem on the auto racing oval. Time trials are slated to begin at 12:30 with a field of more than 50 autos in the running. The competition events will start at 2 p.m. with the trophy dash. Following will be four heat races, the Semi-Main, and the 25-lnp Main Event. After the main event race two special events will highlight the afternoon's action. First the women drivers will go to the poll for the powderpuff feature and then comes the climax of the meet, the "Destruction Der by." At least a dozen cars are ex pected to be out for today's destruction event. Winner of this bash-om-up endurance trial will he the last car that can move, Antics of the drivers are quite humorous since the object of the game is to put the other cars out of commission without hurting your own beyond the point where you can still make it move. All cars in the destruction event are stock cars and are not cut away and gutted-out like the jalopies. Doors are chained shut, glass removed, and the drivers must wear seat belts and safety helmets. To day's destruction spectacle will be staged on the section of the track directly in front of the grandstand.
