Aftermaths of the Gold Cup race and action leading to better safety requirements for racing drivers were the main items of business at the APBA Council meeting. Held at Las Vegas, Nevada, in October, with Senior Vice President C. King Brugman of Los Angeles at the helm, the meeting had a large attendance of interested participants. This was the first such meeting held west of Chicago in over 45 years.

The Council went on record as approving the action of the Detroit Gold Cup committee in not postponing the races, on the grounds that the committee has power to postpone races only when there is a question of safety to either contestants or spectators. There had been no protest raised at the time of the race that the going was such that the lives of the drivers would be endangered.
