SPEED MARK

Miles Per Hour On
Florida Auto Track
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., March
24.— (AP)—Speeding under unfav-
orable course conditions, Mafor H.
O. D. Segrave British driver, today
set a n#w unofficial American one-
way straight away record of 1C6.51
miles an hour for a mile on the océan
beach automobile speedway here.
Workmen had plotted the nine
mile straightway with flags, and
erected intricate timing equipment
for use in the British pilots' one
mile of greatest speed. Major Se-
grave used four miles to gather pow-
er, shot the one mile and eased up
in the next four. Officials of the
American Automobile Association
timed the test.
Patrolman and unauthorized auto-
mobiles held up the start by spring-
ing the time traps as the Major sped
up the course in his powerful "mys-
tery S".
The American record was 154.04
miles an hour.
Today's trials were called off af-
ter two runs, when the racing mach-
ine stuck in high gear and the tide
began to cover the course.
