Burlington Builds A Track

The half mile race course at Burlington Tri-State Fairgrounds has been completed and has received the official approval of the American Automobile Association so it seems certain that the 100 mile race on July 9th will be held. It will be the only one of its kind in the country this season.

To give an idea of the speed that is possible over the local course, last Sunday at the opening of course trials, a local car turned one lap in 33 seconds, one second below the world's record for a half mile over a two-lap track...The seat sales for the race has been opened and 35,000 people are expected to view the event.
