“Shall we go around again?” asked Ned.
“I think we’d better,” counseled Jerry. “That sprint was nothing. What we most need is to ride in a big crowd and not lose our nerve when we think there is going to be a collision.”
“I hope there will be no smash-ups,” came from Bob. “If I thought that I wouldn’t go in.”
“There will not be any if you are careful,” advised Jerry. “Just keep your wits about you and mind your steering. Poor steering is responsible for more accidents than anything else.”
“What do you suppose those two chaps wanted to see how fast we could go for?” asked Bob.
“They wanted to know just what sort of opposition they might count on,” replied Jerry.
“I don’t think those fellows gained much,” said Ned.
“Me either,” commented Jerry. “Another thing we must look out for is a ‘pocket.’”
“What’s that?” asked Bob, who was not very well up on racing terms.
