Eyston Aims For Record Run At Bonneville Salt Flats
English driver Captain George E T Eyston piloted the seven ton Thunderbolt along the Bonneville Salt Flats track at 847.155 miles per hour in the measured mile, the fastest on land, before an electric eye timing device failed on the return run. The outward mile took 10.87 seconds, with officials noting the return leg could have approached 355 mph, but sunlight and beam shadow caused the timing error. Eyston vows to return once the timing eye is repaired, while fellow Briton John Cobb waits for a chance to top the mark.
