Death and protests mark Vanderbilt Cup 300 miles on Long Island
The Vanderbilt Cup on Long Island ended in controversy after George Heath first crossed the line in a 90 horsepower car, but rival Clement protested the result. A fatal crash killed Karl Mensel, machinist for George Arents Jr., whose 60 horsepower car overturned at Hempstead road. Heath’s time was challenged over a gas tank repair delay, prompting a delayed final ruling by the Automobile Association of America.
