Goodyear Rickenbacker Sets Winter Cross-Country Record
The Goodyear balloon equipped Rickenbacker Six, with crew led by Eddie Rickenbacker, raced from New York to St Louis and beyond in winter conditions. Covering 3106 miles at 43.4 mph, the car faced ice, snow and muddy plains, yet averaged 37 mph on rough roads. From Springerville to Phoenix it beat records, while earlier legs included New York to Philadelphia in 1 hour 49 minutes, under bitterly cold night travel.
