An md-80 flight crew is uncertain if they were supposed to maintain an airspeed assignment of 250 KTS after they were at 13000 ft, so they increased speed on their own.

Narrative:
Parke departures do not exceed 250 KTS until reaching 11000 ft. I am not 100% certain that I complied. I am pretty sure I did, but the controller asked us to maintain 250 KTS until further advised as we climbed out of 13000 ft. I was accelerating to 300 KTS at that time. New york does this often -- it has just been a while, so I am trying to play it safe here.

Title: AN MD-80 FLT CREW IS UNCERTAIN IF THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO MAINTAIN AN AIRSPEED ASSIGNMENT OF 250 KTS AFTER THEY WERE AT 13000 FT, SO THEY INCREASED SPD ON THEIR OWN.
Narrative: PARKE DEPS DO NOT EXCEED 250 KTS UNTIL REACHING 11000 FT. I AM NOT 100% CERTAIN THAT I COMPLIED. I AM PRETTY SURE I DID, BUT THE CTLR ASKED US TO MAINTAIN 250 KTS UNTIL FURTHER ADVISED AS WE CLBED OUT OF 13000 FT. I WAS ACCELERATING TO 300 KTS AT THAT TIME. NEW YORK DOES THIS OFTEN -- IT HAS JUST BEEN A WHILE, SO I AM TRYING TO PLAY IT SAFE HERE.
