NEW LAND SPEED RECORD!
407 M.P.H. ON GOODYEAR TIRES
Monday-, August 5th Craig Breedlove, with
a wingless let, Goodyear tires and 170 pounds
of heart, hope and guts brought the land
speed record back to America.
7:15 ajm. The silence ot the Bonneville Salt Flats
was shattered by the whine of a 35 foot long jet racer.
That whine became a soar as Craig Breedlove in his
Spirit of America thundered into the record books.*
His speed: 388.49 mph one way, the other way . . .
428.37 mph! For an average of 407.45 mika an hoar!
Smashing the record held by England's John Cobb
of 394.2 mph. A 1947 record that many experts
thought could never be topped.
One of the most important problems that Breedlove
faced when he first decided to give the land speed
record a try was summed op in a statement that
appeared in a leading aotomotive magazine!
" . . . there is no point in thinking of a land
speed record car if there are no tires that
will stand up to the reqoired speed.**
Goodyear engineers accepted the u n i q u e . • • a l m o s t

A TIRE IS BORN
In his initial talk with Goodyear engineers, Breedlove
said,

Each tire was tested on Goodyear's multi-stage dynamometer at speeds in excess of 600 mOes per hour.
