The following records made in a stock car (chassis and body) under official observa- tion and certification by O. M.

The foregoing tests were conducted in a stock model Lexington car equipped with an Ansted motor, manufactured by the Lexington Motor Co. , this being the motor that won first and second places in the free-for- all Pike’s Peak Hill Climb in September, 1920. Each and every record above set forth is covered by the sworn statement of the official observer, on file with the undersigned company, available for inspection by the public upon request.
