[Statistics from Greene, V.1]
Note: slightly different results are reported in Fred Farley & Ron Harsin's Madison: Hydroplane Heritage (BFP), pp.112-3:
"The first Unlimited hydroplane to race at Madison was the My Darling, from Springfield, Illinois. Powered by a 12-cylinder Alllison and driven by owner Andy Marcy, My Darling was a step hydro and did not have sponsons. Marcy defeated a field of smaller inboard hydroplanes at an average speed of 76.000 miles per hour. Phil Rothenbusch finished second to My Darling in Wild Goose, while J.D. Smith ran third with Y-39. Thom Cooper dropped out while leading in Tops VII when a piece of driftwood lodged itself in the water intake."
