The relatively small course and greater number of entries provided many opportunities for cars to compete. The #16 Benz driven by David Bruce-Brown pulled ahead of the #9 Amplex driven by Walter Jones as they approached the Massapequa Lodge. The bridge over Wantagh Avenue was approximately 1/8th of a mile to the west in the background.
