Footnotes

  • One of the other postponed races was the 38th Lightning Long Handicap, which was won by Jack Dunfee in his Ballot at 101.91 mph, just beating E.L.Meeson in his Vauxhall. There were only two finishers as Cobb turned up the Finishing Straight thinking the race was over when someone rang the bell too early!
