DIRECTIONS FOR AUTOISTS HOW TO REACH SPEEDWAY
Automobilists will find two good roads to the speedway Saturday and the parking space at the track has been greatly enlarged.
Two routes leading to the track from the end of the West Grand avenue pavement have been marked with signs and flags. One leads through Valley Junction where the authorities have been working on the roads. Other roads through the Junction have not been worked.
The second route is a quarter of a mile longer. It may be reached by turning to the right after crossing the bridge at the end of the Grand avenue paving. It has been marked by large signs in black letters on white background.
Drivers of autos provided with tickets, will be sent thru the subway at the track. The others will be sent to the field beyond the grandstand where a road leads to a 24-foot bridge over the track. The bridge will be open until 1 o'clock. After that time, all autos will be forced to enter thru the subway.
