CAR LIKE A DART.
350 M.P.H. at Three-quarter
Throttle?
BRITISH DRIVER'S PLANS,
(Received 2 p.m.)
LONDON, March 22,
Seeking fresh opponents, the racing motorist, Freddie Dixon, is planning to stagger the motoring world with an unconventional car of his own design capable of beating Sir Malcolm Campbell's record of 301 miles an hour, says the "Daily Mail" motoring correspondent.
"It will resemble a dart in shape, with all the weight in front, and will have an engine of only 60 horse-power," said Dixon. "However, the car should be able to do 350 miles an hour on threequarter throttle." he added, without disclosing how this was achieved.
