“WIZARD” SMITH’S CAR
STATEMENTS ABOUT SPEED * AMBITIOUS CLAIMS. SYDNEY, January 15. Mr Don Harkness informed the press that he definitely dissociates himself from any claim that “ Wizard ” Smith’s car is designed or is intended to achieve speeds in the vicinity of 300 miles per hour. “We are dealing with many unknown factors,” lie said. “It would be unwise to make any prediction. My mission has been to build a car to better the existing record, but I have not yet aimed at such a high rate of speed as is freely reported. It is undesirable that such ambitious statements should be made and circulated, although if the Stewart Enterprise is successful—as I hope it will be—its gearing may be modified to attain still phenomenal speeds.”
