If no records are kept of any cars in previous races, all cars at a meet would have to run time trials in order to qualify for the final events. All this takes time, but it is the only fair way to do the job. Furthermore, these time trials should consist of more than one run per car. There should be at least two runs —and more if possible. The more runs there are, the better the averages are go- ‘l hope the ing to stack up. After each meet, the results and times and records of each car should be sent to headquarters where the records can be kept.
