Rem stopped ten times during the race. He had to change an inner tube and two spark plugs; he fell off twice then wired up a mudguard and also wired up the advance spark lever. Then he dropped his pump and had to pick it up. He also stopped twice to take up slack in his drive belt.
Despite all of this he won in a time of 4 hours 21 minutes 52 seconds, averaging 36.32 mph.
