British Racer Gets Speed Trophy
Kaye Don and Gar Wood apparently have decided to forger their clash of Monday when Gar out-tricked the Englishman and retained possession of the Harmsworth Trophy for another year, at least. Today, at the Whittier Hotel, Don (left) shook hands with Gar Wood after he (Don) received a trophy from Weyhing brothers, for making the fastest lap. Don traveled 93.017 miles an hour during the second lap Sunday. This is the fastest time in the history of the Harmsworth competition.
