Earl Cooper, noted knight of the roaring boards and “daddy” to many of the younger men in the racing game, will be a guest of the Concord Rotarians at their weekly meeting at Hotel Concord tomorrow.
G. L. Patterson, meeting chairman, attended the invitation to Cooper and any of the other drivers now in Charlotte, who could attend. He has been advised that Cooper will be on hand.
In addition to the famous driver the local Rotarians will have as their guests at the meeting C. W. Roberts, head of the North Carolina Motor Club and manager of the Charlotte Speedway for the sprint races to be held there this month.
Cooper has been in the racing game for many years and is one of the best known men in the profession. He is always in the money and has won one first and one second in the Charlotte race classics.
The driver will be invited to discuss some of his experiences while talking to the Rotarians, and of course any other subject that might occur to him will be heard with interest.
