Lancia Wins Vanderbilt Cup Free For Real Honors In Italian Drive
Lancia, the Italian driver, led the 284 mile Vanderbilt race on the Long Island course, finishing fourth after a collision that delayed him while Hemery and Heath battled for second. Hemery won the real honors with a fierce finish as Lancia’s car broke down midrace and Christie’s wreck halted the Italian late in the event. No one was killed and few hurt in the high speed contest, with spectators cheering the swift machines and the dramatic collision that reshaped the leaderboard.
