RALPH MULFORD WHO WON RACE LAST YEAR TO DRIVE SUPER-SIX

"Smiling" Ralph Mulford, who invariably wears a starched collar, white necktie and insists that everything about his mount be spick and span, will drive a Super-Six at the Des Moines race. The car has been built for Mulford at the Hudson factories.

It was Ralph Mulford who drove a hudson stock chassis 1,819 miles in twenty-four hours, making a new world's record. He drove the same car 102 miles an hour at Daytona.

Mulford won the 1910 roadracing championship after capturing the first place in the Elgin trophy race. The next year he won the seventh Vanderbilt cup race at an average speed of over seventy-four miles an hour.

Later he won second place in the first 500 mile Indianapolis race. In 1912 he finished second in the Elgin trophy race. The next year he again won second in this race.

In 1914, based on racing records for the past decade, Mulford was ranked as the second best of American Drivers.

In 1914 Mulford cleaned up ten out of sixteen events at Galveston beach, averaging 85 to 110 miles per hour.

In the Des Moines Speedway race last August Mulford won first place at an average of 86.91 miles per hour. He is out this year to take first place again and many race fans look for him to do it.
