 De Palma's average speed was 76.t miles per hour. slower by three miles per hour than the course record sci by Teddy Jetzlaff. but faster than the Vanderbilt cup record, 74.07 miles per hour made by Mulford at Savannah Tn i 1911 and faster than the speed Dc Palma made when he won the cup race at Milwaukee in 1912.
 There was one accident during the race. Edwin Pullen. who made one of the fastest laps of the day. eighty five miles per hour. was leading in the fourteenth lap, and took the turn at a terrific rate.
