The race took place at Daytona International Speed- way, and Mr. Letcher has sent an account which appeared in a Daytona paper, (By Bernard Kahn, News-Journal Sports Editor) "A red and white 1960 hartop Buick Invicta received the checkered flag at 7:42 last night at Daytona Inter- national Speedway, and reportedly ac- complished its prodigious mission of running 10,000 miles in 5,000 minutes. A team of six professional race dri- vers hired by the Buick Division of General Motors started the ambitious 'endurance and speed test at 8:32 Tues- day morning. According to unoficcial calculations the Buick actually com- pleted the 4,000 laps around the high banked two and a half mile track in 4,990 minutes and averaged a fraction over 120 mph for the punishing grind. Official results are to be announced later by Buick, which leased the Speedway for Project 10,000-500. The unprecendented 80 hour and 10 minute endurance dash was timed by National Assn. for Stock Car Racing|' officials and the official record will |ca be attested by Bill France, president of NASCAR and also of the Speed- way. There was an unexpected dramatic finish to the marathon spectacle which started out here in October when ex- periments began on the project. As the car came around the east bank of the track in its 4,000th lap and roared toward the finish line, sirens screamed. It was a signal to alert commercial television cameramen and photogra- phers who were perched like monkeys atop boom truck ladders in the air over the finish line. At the exact moment that the history making car braked to a stop, the lights went out.. The six NASCAR race drivers who shared the piloting job were Fireball Roberts, Dewayne Lund, Marvin Panch, Bobby Johns, Larry Frank and Larry Flynn. No driver ever was behind the wheel for nore 'than three hours a daytime and the night limit was two hours, 'The driver always "was in communieation with the pits by radio. At the 9,000 mile mark yesterday, it was reported the Invicta was aver- aging 120.001 mph, Orders went out to speed up as a cushion of time might be needed in case of an unscheduled pit stop. The average climbed steadily in the home stretch. The last pit stop was made at 6 pm. and as the car halted on the ramp, power jacks hoisted it instantly and a crew of 12 men went to work, While onlookérs were wondering how they could help and got in each other's way the car was lowered and roared off. Only 41 seconds had e- lapsed. P The last pit stop also produced a surprise in the person of a surprised driver. The six race drivers got to- gether and decided to let Ralph Moody, who had headed the preciion pit crew, drive the final shift, Spinner okayed it. No one told Moody until the car came in, So Moody, Charlotte, N.C., a veter- an race driver and mechanic, got be- hind the wheel on a moment's notice and brought her home safe and fast. He was turning laps at 123 mph at the finish. The car, which ran a normal life- time in 80 hours, used 10 sets of tires during the marathon. -When experiments on the project began here in October, the first set of tires lasted only 76 miles. Fire- stone engineers made changes in the grooves, etc, and the distance kept increasing. . During the endurance test, the longest distance driven on a set of tires was 1,287 miles. That was the fifth set. The terrific friction and continuous speed was a test of tires and fuel as well as machine and man. Dick Dolan, Chicago, racing direct- or for Pure Oil Co., said it was an 'amazing feat". Dolan said: "You can't imagine the beating this car has taken in 4,000 laps at this speed." One of the most ingenious opera- tions was refueling on the run. In addition to taking on gas when drivers were changed, a refueling car pumped 15 gallons of gas into the test car every 46 minutes. The en- gineers devised a device akin to re- fueling a plane in the air and when the two cars made "fueling contact" they were traveling between 115 and 120 mph. Refueling at night was especially nerve wracking, because the only lights were the headlights. During the early morning hours, when pit crews and drivers were weary, a siren blasted when the test car was scheduled to stop. It was an alert to have all hands ready. Longest pit stop was made Thurs- day morning, 29 minutes and 66 sec- onds when- a harmonic balance part became faulty, much to the engineers' exasperation. As a precaution Wednesday, the car was. brought in for a rear axle change and it was executed in four minutes and 31 seconds along with a tire and sparkplug change and ad- dition of oil."

B, Dy- mond, in the chair, and despite the inclemency of the weather we had a good attendance. It is always en- couraging to know that the other members are interested enough to make the effort to attend, especially as so many come from neighboring areas where the road conditions may not be very good. In view of the weather we didn't dally too long, but covered the usual matters of business and wended our various ways home. New articles which have to be sewn are needed at the Hospital, so the women arranged to do this work and also planned to buy several new ar- ticles which are required. The ladies of the mending commit- tee are still to be commended on the work they are doing, and also the li- brary committee, which is bringing continued pleasure to the patients. We wish to thank all those who sent Christmas cakes or puddings to the Hospital, They were indeed much appreciated.

The tele- phone lines were the worst hit and it is still impossible to phone out of town. About 200 hydro men arrived in the town by helicopter and worked day and night for a week. The telephone lines will have to be entirely rebuilt and will take weeks, Now there has a second storm and third ice storm and that area has been declared a disaster area.
