A BIG TRACK.
A scheme is on foot in America to build a motor-racing track — a duplicate of that at Brooklands, England—only better, of course. Its location is to be near Philadelphia, and it will be two miles in circumference, with a width of 100 ft ordinarily, and 125 ft at the turns, which will be banked to an angle of 30deg. A company, known
as the American Motordrome Incorp., has been formed, with a capital of £lOO,OOO, and has secured a tract of land some 200 acres in extent. It is proposed to build the track proper of cinders and cement, and, “ if matters progress satisfactorily,” it is to be opened in June next.
