"Sir Malcolm went on to set three more consecutive land-speed records at Daytona Beach: 253.968 mph in 1932, 272.465 mph in 1933, and 276.710 mph in early 1935."

I may have misheard the "257" but I knew it was over 250mph. Insane.

I thought you were saying he RACED at 257. That was the source of my confusion.

Claimed to be the first race on the beach at Daytona, there are several Auburn Boattail Speedsters in this race

The "track" gets kinda loose in the first turn midway thru the race
