ing Interest are led by the four
wheel drive, rear-motor guinea
pigs which Harry Miller of Los
Angeles designed three years ago,
but which have just been brought
to a point of perfection.
Intense Interest in the race Is
said by officials to be traceable
to:
Increased rivalry bcaue of
the virtual Interruption of the
competition by drizzling rain for
the final 125 mile last year.
Improvement in American cars
whicli have a fine chance of
wiping out the two-year foreign
car reign with a( victory.
Renewed Interest In speed and
motors because of the defense
program.
