"WIZARD” SMITH’S RECORD
ORDINARY MOTOR SPIRIT USED Contrary to the popular idea, there * aa nothing specially extraordinary • bout the motor spirit and lubricating oil used by “Wizard" Smith retently on his record speed of 146 Wiles an hour over 10 miles on the Ninety Mile Beach. The idea that racing motorists use super-chemicals instead of benzine is quite wrong, because Izard" Smith used nothing but ordinary grade “Plume" Appotenic motor £Pirit such as can be bought at any bowser, and the engine was lubricated the usual Mobiloil 88. That these products are sufficient for such spectacular speeds where dependabil”7 is essential, indicates their worth.
