H. Armstrong, has about it, there will be a carnival of speed kings on the ocean speedway there next Febru- ary when moon and tide combine to smooth out the world’s most famous racing stretch. Sir Malcolm Campbell, far from saticfied that his 253.968 miles per hour record is the best he can do, has promised tentatively to return for his third straight battle with lC!d Pop Time. | Norman ‘Wizard” Smith, who has been making gestures at Camp- bell's record on Ninety Mile Beach, iin New Zealand, will be urged to (pack up his Napier-motored ma- ! and ship it to the United | States. | On top of this, J. M. White, Phil- | adelphia manufacturer, whose ill- | fated Triplex once set a world’s !mile record at Daytona, is under- stood to be planning a new speed |creation, and the old master him- | zelf, none other than Barney Old- ‘he\ld, talks with enthusiasm about returning to Daytona at the wheel of a new Miller racing car. The chances, of course, are against all of these prospects bear- {ing fruit. Nevertheless, the con- |sisteney with which the British ers and British cars have been | ccming over here to take the speed records apart finally has prompted some homebred patriotic activity. “We can build cars just as fast [or faster,” declares Oldfield. “Whv |12t theze fellows keep coming over a ~|here and make us look like back- McGraw Sees Giants as Improved Team; Showing = swimsi ™ | lock like a good idea for the Amer- {lcans to figure on ‘stirting at 300 |m.ph. and working up.
