The 1928 quest for the Land Speed Record on the sands of Daytona
Beach was a first for America, a singular mix of technology,
thrills and tragedy. Tens of thousands lined the dunes along the
beach, a crowd larger than any yet seen at Indianapolis 500. Three
contenders, two Americans and a Briton, raced for the ultimate
distance-averaged top speed, in magnificent machines built by
different schools of design. This book chronicles the high-speed
drama. The top American driver, Frank Lockhart, 25, survived a
spectacular accident and rebuilt his Stutz Black Hawk, only to meet
his fate in the new runs. The facts and myths behind the
competition are examined in depth for the first time, along with
the innovations and fatal mistakes of vehicle design.
