FAILURE SET
SPEED MARK
DUE CLUTCH
BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS,
Nov. 6, (>P)—Captain George Ey
ston, British auto racer, today
roared through the measured mile
lucre at approximately three hun
dred and ten miles an hour, a
speed faster than that attained by
Sir Malcolm Campbell who holds
the record.
However, on the return trip,
his dutch failed, and he coasted
along at only a 175 miles an
hour, which lowered liis average
for the two tripes which are re
quired in order to complete an
official record.
As required by the rules, the
racer must make two trips over
the course, his final speed being
the avsrage of the two trips.
Had it not been for the failure
of the clutch, said Capt. Eyston,
he surely would have set a new
record. Plans for another try at
breaking Campbell’s record will
be worked out immediately and
the trips made as soon as new
tires are received and the equip
ment overhauled.
