"I have just won the five hun-

to a wet, slippery track from fre-
quent showers. Safety at high speed
was of greatest importance and my
Firestone Tires enabled me to make
an average speed of 96.629 miles
per hour. I have always used Fire-
stone Tires in all my racing, for I
confldanee in their
safety and dependability and I want
to thank you for the part Firestone
