The whippersnapper was assuredly reckless, for the first 50 miles he led the roaring, crackling, reeking, spitting pack at a canter of 104 mi. an hour, was passed by Racer Cooper, took the lead again after Cooper had turned his $10,000 machine into a smear of debris against a concrete wall in the 124th lap. Would he learn no caution, that...
