“WIZARD” SMITH’S CAR If, in his attempt on the world land speed record on Ninety-Mile Beach, “Wizard” Smithy the crack Australian racing motorist, travels at 300 miles an hour over the measured mile, the time taken will be just 12 seconds. Five hundred gallons of petrol and 150 gallons of oil have been brought over for the attempt. Smith’s car was lifted off the Ulimaroa before an admiring crowd at eight o’clock the other morning, and it will be on exhibition in Auckland for a few days before being transported north. When the car reaches the beach, it will be housed in a specially-built garage, in which all joints have been padded with felt to make it sandproof.
