Revolution On The Roads
The rate of change in the
size, type, performance and
number of vehicles on the
nation's highways will be
substantially different in
coming years, threatening a
revolution in our transpor
tation system. Already, cars
are smaller and slower,
trucks are bigger and faster,
and the combination could
be dangerous.
Last year's champion
was Ronnie Hobgood, one
of Henderson's leading
golfers, who defeated Cole
Whitt of Henderson in a
sudden-death playoff.
