The penalty of six points prevented his finishing the contest with a perfect score, for he arrived dead on time at every other control. Graham-Paige added to its laurels by winning the special 7/10-mile speed event in 3-l- y,; seconds, 2 seconds faster than the nearest competitor, a Lancia-Lambda car. . Two other American cars were tied for third plare, finishing in 39 seconds.
