Speed records surge as Segrave tops 231 mph on Daytona sands
Day to day the progress of auto racing quickened as Maj. H. O. Segrave of England set a new world speed record on March 11 with the Golden Arrow, averaging 231.362 mph on the Daytona Beach course. The feat eclipsed Ray Keech’s 207.552 mph and the former 906.956 mph mark by Capt. Malcolm Campbell, marking a dramatic leap since 1903 when Alexander Winton first thrilled spectators. The piece contrasts the modern machine with the early Pirate, Olds’s light chain driven racer, underscoring how far speed has advanced.
