The event was scheduled for 200 miles, but was stopped after 118 1-4 miles when thg rain which had threatened to postpone the race from the staK broke into a heavy shower and made completion dangerous. Arnold completsd the 116 1-4 miles in one hour and one minute, an average of 113 miles an hour. Tht victory gave him 139 points and Increased his season total to 1,027.

Arnold set the pace for the moment Starter Jack Rose sent the field away.

He averaged 120 milea an hour during the first fifty miles, a speed which only Litz was able to match. The other ten starters were gradually outdistanced until the third place position over which Lou Meyer, Cantlon and Russ Snowberger fought was soon one mile and later nearly- three miles behind the leader. Lita twice sent the spectators to their feet When his efforts to ovftis take Arnold were coupled with "breaks" which endangered bl9 life.

1 had no effect on the duel and Lltx was Immediately in Arnolds wake. Lltx gained the lead a few min-utea later when Arnold went into the pit to change his left front tire. He lost it about ten laps later through his second mishap at the eastern turn. Litzs right front tire blew as he was doming out of the turn.
