The fatality test: no Lakeville track, and the boundary pointer unconfirmed

Motorsport fatality lists and the banked boundary-track record, swept

Every track's dead are owed a name in their own article; Lakeville has no track, so it can have no track fatality — and the one boundary name the checklist carries could not be confirmed in any fatality record reached, which prints whole rather than as either a death or a denial. The checklist's pointer names Paul Howe, 1958, against the boundary speedways. That is a search result, not a finding of fact: short-track deaths of the 1950s are exactly the class of record that lives in the local press run and the tracks' own records, neither reached here. The residue stands expressly: the South Bend Tribune and Lakeville Standard runs and the two speedways' records are the settlers, and until one of them is read, the Howe pointer stands unconfirmed in both directions — no fatality is printed, and no no-fatality finding is printed either.
