For mile racing Mayor Jenkins has no great fondness. Already holder of 153 speed records, Ab Jenkins—whose popularity with home-town folks made him mayor last November—has no intention of re tiring. His goal: 200 miles in one hour, 4,000 miles in 24 hours and—just to prove that he too can set a record over a straightaway mile—one mile at 400 m.p.h.
*Highest average in an Indianapolis 500-mile auto race: 117.2 m.p.h.
