With supercharging once again permitted, Jimmy Snyder is the first to turn a qualifying lap in excess of 130 mph. The new European formula of 183 cubic inches supercharged (and 274 cubic inches UNsupercharged) will come into effect in 1938, but for the time being a massive 366 cid is still permissible. Chief mechanic Art Sparks takes advantage of that and Snyder rides a rocketship. He starts all the way back in 19th but is leading by lap three! He is far ahead when his transmission breaks after 27 laps.
