TR — i ————————— SIX BIG RACING EVENTS AT ALTOONA SPEEDWAY. On the birthday of American in- dependence, the championship circuit gasoline jockeys will move their mounts into action on the famous Altoona Speedway. Ralph Hankin- son in taking over the management of the Altoona oval has adopted three | new policies, which he feels will meet with the approval of all the race fans. The new date of July 4 instead of the former June holiday will allow a | greater convenience for auto racing | fans while the new racing policy will | be for practically the same distance as in former years, yet the events will be divided for more action and keener competition. | The feature event will be for 100 miles, The qualification heats which precede the main event will furnish hot competition. The program wil) | include six events with a total of 205 miles of racing. The entries will be restricted to the two man type cars with practic- ally all the championship circuit pilots in attendance to protect their standings. With the increasing pop- ularity of the two man type cars at Indianapolis and the large entry lists for this year, Altoona too, will wit- ness larger fields and it is confident- ly certain that the largest fields seen there in many years will be on hand for the grand and glorious Fourth.
