The track, which after two or three monthstests was found to be too light to stand the strain of carsrunning at the speed proposed, is now being 60 km (37 miles) to 80 km (50 miles) per hour very littletrouble was experienced with the track, but at 100 km (62miles)to 120km (74miles) per hour the cars oscillated badly.
