Miss Canada III of Ingersoll Ont led for seven laps of the first heat but coasted in second with motor trouble and had to drop out in the final heat. Wild Bill Cantrell of Louisville raced stem to stern with My Sin for two laps of the second heat before his Why Worry was disabled by propeller failure which also forced out Lou Fageol s So Long in the same heat. Andy Crawford of Washington DC won the Stark Hickey trophy race for 135 cubic inch motors in his Edmandy setting a new heat record of 54 083 MPH.
