Here’s a short, SILENT clip of David Abbott “Ab” Jenkins, breaking speed records, at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1936.
Jenkins replaced the Duesenberg Special with a Curtiss Conqueror aircraft engine. The version of this car was named the Mormon Meteor and Ab Jenkins broke records with it in 1936, beginning with a 500 km (311 mi) record of 164.47 mph (264.69 km/h).
Jenkins and Babe Stapp drove the car to a 24-hour average of 153.82 mph (247.55 km/h) and a 48-hour average of 148.64 mph (239.21 km/h). In 1937, Jenkins and Louis Meyer increased the car's 24-hour record to 157.27 mph (253.10 km/h). [ Ссылка ]
