THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON. D. €. JUNE 7, 1925—PART 3. Set new speed records & “Gum-Dipped Balloons Helped Me Break World Record? — Says Peter De Paolo ‘The plain facts are that without Firestone Balloons I could mot have put it over. I felt safe on those big tires — on the turns as well as the straightaway. And it was the higher epeed on the treacherons turns that made it possible for me to finish the race with the average for the 500 miles of 101.13 smiles per hour — breaking all track records from 10 to 500 miles. What’s more, I finished without the usual physical prized by thousands of car owners—more speed, more safety, more comfort. A World’s record was set at Indianapolis, May 30, 1924, on Firestone regtilar cords, speed 98.23 miles per hour. A new World’s record for 500 miles—and the track records from 10 to 500 miles—were set May 30, 1925, on Firestone Full-Size Gum-Dipped Balloons, speed 101.13 miles per hour. One lap of the race was covered at better than 106 miles per hour. Twenty-one cars started—ten finished “in the money.” These prize winners were on Firestone Balloons—and drove with balloon tire safety and comfort—with en- exhaustion—in fact it was the most comfortable race I ever Cts drove oa the Indianapolis track.
