BiographyHe was born on December 28, 1884 in Brooklyn, New York. He once served as a Sunday school teacher.[2] There is an ongoing urban legend that Ralph Mulford may have won the 1911 Indianapolis 500 over Ray Harroun.[2] However, contemporary newspaper accounts and substantiated research, namely by Indianapolis Motor Speedway historian Donald Davidson, have produced no credible evidence to support the claim.[3][4][5][6] Mulford was retroactively declared the National Driving Champion for 1911 and 1918. He retired from racing on tracks after 1922, but continued to compete for several more years in hill climbs, and – at one time – held the record for both the Mount Washington and Pikes Peak climbs. He died on October 23, 1973 in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Indianapolis 500 results
