Dick Beith in his H/Streamliner off to attempt a record set at 144.36 mph. The minicar’s Mercury outboard engine topped out at 141.50


A fascinating time.  Does anyone know of a good history or source book documenting this era of speed?

  2. Fantastic movie. I had known nothing of Munroe and only the barest outline of the really big guys at Bonneville.
