Original Toronto Star caption: The family sedan, old or new, can be entered in a special set of ice races to be run tomorrow at Copetown Holiday Park, near Hamilton. The races, held on the surface of a lake, are timed events with each car running individually. Thus there's no safety problem and you can carry the family along for traction.
