Up front I'll admit I'm a gear head. Anything that goes fast gets my attention .
That being said here is a blast from the past.
Jan 26 1906 in Ormand Beach Florida on the sand. Stanley Steamer Rocket Racer also know as "Flying Teapot" posted a LSR of 127.659 MPH.
that record stood for four years.In a try at 200MPH it hit a dip in the sand and wrecked.
A few years later in March of 1929 the "Golden Arrow" set a record of 231.45 MPH {372.46 KM/H}
A long time back I was privileged to work on my friends pit crew as he attempted a LSR on the salt out west. First pass went good on the return the transmission let go at 128 MPH . Luck was on his side as he did not crash and coasted back to the pits.
