Woman Nominates Car. For the first time in the history of the local course a woman has nomi- nated a car to start the race. She is Mrs. Mae Harvey of Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. Harvey~“had obtained the | services of Jerry Wonderlich to drive her machine, but lost him when he purchased a racer himself. She has not announced who will be at the wheel f her car qualifies. The ma- chine is one of a famous racing make real competition. Louis Chevrolet, Indianapolis, who designed the winning cars in 1920 and 1921, will have a half dozen or more cars entered in the race this year. Twelve of the thirty-two ma. chines which have been entered, however, were designed by the v eran engineer within the last few , but belong either’ to manu- rers or to individuals. Several of the cars this vear will try out the radio telephone. Special equipment has been installed on the cars with the idea of permitting the mechanician to keep in touch with his pit manager.

De Palma Nephew Driver. Peter De Palma, nephew of Ralph De Palma, will be at the wheel of one of the Louls Chevrolet creations. He is acquainted with thel ocal oval as a_mechnacian, but not as a driver. In 1920 and 1921 he rode with De Pal- ma. Last winter he was given a mount in#he Pacific coast races and showed some of the driving skill that made his uncle famous, it was said. American, French and English au- tomobiles will compete. Goux will drive one of the two machines he is bringing from France. while Hawkes will pilot his English car. Other v eran drivers who have entered in- clude Art Gelin, Eddie Hearns, Ralph Mulford, Tom Aley and Joe Thomas. The present record for the course for 500 miles is 89.84 miles per hour, < | established by De Palma in 1915, Last year's mark is the next best made for the distance, being 89.62 miles.
