TRAVf I f n Profiles In Sports By: Red Schuyler What CtUr-Wkmt Abater ? With (he longest and rich est stock car race in the world coming up this Sunday In Char lotte, the biggest question mark is the attendance. I am sure that everybody con cerned agree that it will be another Ford Show, that a Ford will win and it will be fact ory backed. It is just a quest ion of what color and what number the car will be. From press releases re ceived from Charlotte the race will pay in excess of $110, 000 in prize money with every one that enters and completes one lap guaranteed a mini mum ol $600.00. This alone should assure a full starting field which is more than we have had this year at any ma jor race. But will it attract fans such as needed to prop erly support financially such a race? A program of pre-race entertainment Is planned that alone will be worth the price of admission. This is some thing that has been lacking at all the tracks this year with the exception of Bristol. For those of you that arrive early, you will be given the opportunity to see the World Champion "Golden Knights" skydivers from Fort Bragg, who will put on a show that you will long remember. Al so on hand will be entertain ment provided by the Fabu lous Leighs, an aerial bal ancing act, plus the Brook land Cayce High School band from West Columbia, S. C., and the Charlotte Police Boys Drum and Bugle Corp. The Charlotte 600 will al ways be remembered as the track that the late Fireball Roberts could never win on and also the track that he had his most serious accident be fore finally succumbing to in juries and burns as a result of an accident that happened early in the race last year. This should be the week that was and 1 predict that shortly after the race is over that certain people will go into a huddle and see what they can do to salvage what so far has been a dark year for Stock Car racing. I also predict that if the first prediction comes true and they should by chance modify the rules in order to entice Chrysler back into the fold that they will reject the offer. Now if the first prediction comes true and the second one does not, I'll predict that Chrysler will only be doing it for the bene fit of the drivers that are now out of racing. If the first prediction does not come true then naturally the other pre dictions do not stand a chance of materializing, that this pre Woodard Electric At The High Bridge In Hayesville Are Proud To Announce That We Have Secured The Services Of PAUL ROGERS ,5SS5?

The World 600 in 1964 att racted a total of 18,012 peo ple to the practice sessions, time trials and the race it self. Charlotte Motor Speed way's big question mark now is how many will turn out this year to see the Ford Show? In all probability there will be some sleepless night this week for a few people. With very little racing tak ing place since last Saturday a week ago at Darlington there's very little to report with the exception that "Junior" Johnson won the race Saturday night at Bowman Gray stadium in Winston-Sal em, and also won the feature race at Hickory Speedway, Sunday afternoon. This should just about put him at the top in money earned this year, If he should win the World 600 Sunday, he will be well on his way to his best sea son in racing and in all pro bability will wind up as top money winner plus the cham pionship for 1965. It looks like If you have Herb Nabb in your corner you do al right. I paid ? visit to the Double H Dragstrip in Blue Ridge Georgia, Saturday night for a very thrilling night of drag racing. The Red Demon made three runs on the strip and I am sure that everyone pre sent got quite a thrill in see ing the jet powered car make its run. Actually its a jet engine mounted on four wheels and starts off slow but reach es a speed of about 200 miles per hour on a 1/4 mile strip. On the first run the "Dem on" reached a speed of about 190 mph and then the second run almost proved disastrous. In making the second run, this young man, Bart Wilkin son, who by the way is one of the "easiest" drivers I have ever talked to, really did a good job of handling the Demon. The main chute failed to open and by the time the secondary was pulled Wilkinson was well on his way to being over the end of the track. By keeping a cool level head, he took the Demon onto the dirt safety apron and spun it out with just a little damage that was quickly re paired for the second run. In the run for the money, the Stripteaser, the Thomas Oil Company's 1966 Falcoi^ with Howard Neal at the wheel' was top man having outclassed all competition for the big money. Second place money went to Red Stanley, driving a Willys A Gaser and third place money went to Don Tho mas, driving a Ram charger Dodge. Our hats are off to Bill and Geneva Hembree for bringing top flight drag racing into our area. These folks have gone all out to bring in different attractions in the way of entertainment and also sponsoring most of the radio broadcasts of NASCAR rac ing. It is my opinion that they deserve far more supp ort In attendance than they are getting. I hope that in the upcoming events that more people will turn out for these events. If you missed being at the Double H, Saturday night, you really missed some excellent entertainment. This Saturday night at the Double H Drag Strip in Blue Ridge will be another top drag racing program with $350.00 up for grabs In the Super stocks, A/FX and gasers, and trophies In other classes. Time trials at 6:00 P.M. and races at 8 .-00 P.M. Ad mission is only $2.00 with children under twelve free. Next week in this column, we will give you an on the scene report of the World 600.
