Marathon Car
. Race Planned |
| North and South

‘An automobile “ynarthon, - “following
the famous Cariboo. Highway.:for: six-
teen hundred miles threugh the centre
2 lof British Columbia and with $25,000
hung up in cash prizes, is the project
which Charles A. Pyne, president: of
the Cariboo . Automobile. - Association
(incorporated) is advancing with. July
ist, 1980 as ao suggested starting date.
All the details for. this,;' spectacular
race have not been: worked. out, but
Mr. Pyne. gives it.io the press to .gee
how it is. recieved. . His ‘epinion-is' that
with the prizes offered, and. the com-
pétition opened: to the cars: of -the
world this marathon would:do more to
attract attention’ to British Columbia
and its historic and scenic  high-
way than any other Proposal that has
been ‘advanced. :

This is really the chief object be-
hind. the proposal to make British Col-
umbia and ‘its highway known, and in-
jereasa the volume of tourist’ travel
through. the province. He ‘would
make the race from Vancouver to Haz-
elton. on return, but would have num-
eraus. places along the road, at which
contestants could enter iu the. race,
proceed on their way to Hazelton,
come south again to Vancouver, and
north again io the point at which the
start: was made. He would fix two.
two or three weeks within which the,
race should be‘ run, the contestants to
be free to rest up at any fixed point or
points, and. their actual time between,
such polnts. to -count.: oo be

: Not only would a. contest - of. this,
kind attract drivers throughout..Can-
ado, the United . States -and:-Europe,
but the attention of the car manufac-

the .contest; would. :establish -the:-road-
ability in a very comprehensive: test. of.
of the various makes of cars, a matter
to which manufacturers of cars give
the closest of attention.::

So far there are but two conditions
which Mr. Pyne has decided should:
attach’ to the~ race:
contestant shall be. obligated to. ob-
serve the rules of the road as provided
by provineial authority, and ‘another
that none but medium pricéd cars, as
turned out of the factory by the man-

‘/afacturers, shail be permitted | toe enter

the contest. |  Waeh ear would carry
distinetive flais or markings to iden-
tify it as‘ entered in the marathon,

Ags to the ‘prize money’ Mr,’ Pyne’s
suggestion is that the main’ prize ‘be
one of $10,000, sufficient to edmniand
the attention of any: fntomobile owner
fl second prize of $5000, gna ten lesser
prizes of $1000 ench ;
‘While the. proposal may. be consia-
ered as a big undertaking |,
expresses himself ag quite certain it
could be financed through f SY stem of.
advertising, event though the total ‘OX-.
pense in. connection with ‘the_ “mara-
