A roster of those who, from time to time,) have clipped a few minutes—or even seconds —time between these points, reads like a volume of “Who's Who'’ among Speed Mer- chants, and includes almost every make of | car which has any pretensions to povnr,‘ speed or road-ability. o Space forbids printing any but a few of the) more recent records:— In 1916, Buick lowered the former and seta' new mark of 10 hours, 47 minutes. Cadillac went after that and did it in 9 hours, ! 30 minutes. In 1920 Peerless shaved off 10 minutes—set the mark at 9 hours, 20 minutes. 1921—Studebaker lowered that by 4 minutes, 10 seconds—9 hours, 15 minutes, 50 seconds. That record—like others that have recently fallen before the on-rush of this invincible Rickenbaker Six—stood fer several years. And now, Rickenbacker clips off 18 full minutes. 439 miles—8 hours, 57 minutes—total elapsed time. And this by a car that is a standard stock model in every regard save for a higher gear ratio—41} to 1. At times, on sbraightaways, Baker drove s0) miles an hour. ’ He made the amazing average of nnrl; fifty miles per hour for the entire distance (49.05 to be exact). We believe this record will stand for a long time to come.
