Sensational Auto Leap at Midland Empire Fair in Billings
A daredevil will leap a car nine feet in the air across an eighteen foot gap between inclines at the Midland Empire fair, Billings, September 21-24. The stunt, first done at the Denver Horse Show, attracted big offers from Barnum & Bailey and the Minnesota State fair. The act requires bringing in a Denver driver as training locally proved futile. The Overland car with triplex springs faces limited tolerances and the leap will be a daily feature beside the grandstand.
