Hardtop time t ri a I s will be gin at 7 p.m. and the first of the trophy dashes will start promptly at 8 o'clock. The KRA'a move to remove the limits previously placed on hard top competitors has also resulted in the addition of a number of the speedy, full-race California carl to the nucleus formed by thel local racers.

Other top chauffeurs who are towing their equipment to Klanv ath Falls Saturday include Corky Waterman. Bob Wilcox and others from Northern California areas Harsh feelings that erupted be tween Bud Cook, the high point man for the last two successive vears, and daredevil Dale Han kins, who tangled autos on the back stretch the last time out. have been further nurtured by the pursestrings and track oper ator. "1 can still show these hoys thing or two about getting through a turn," pooh-poohed Sheridan. His appearance on the track could prove interesting'.
