MOTOR CAR RECORD.
NORMAN SMITH AT. NINETY MILE BEACH. _ CLAIM NOT ALLOWED. (Pee United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 8. The claim by Mr Norman Smith to have made a 10-mile world’s record in a Cadillac motor car with a Rolls-Royce aero engine at Ninety Mile Beach, North Auckland, has not been upheld by the Royal Automobile Club. The journal, The Motor (England) of March, states that the international regulations, covering attempts on world and international class records, require that all records up to 10 miles shall be automatically timed by apparatus-regis-tering to l-100th of a second, and if attempted on a straight away course the distance shall be covered in both directions. As these conditions were not complied with the' R.A.C. is not able to submit the claim to the A.I.A.C.R. for recognition.
