Tricky... The SCTA does not keep those old records. They are in private collections which took years to gather.

The Record Return Run for car number 500 (Arnold - Hoddinott - Leggitt - Salkins) 1953 Studebaker in C/CBFA was not shown in the SCTA-BNI Daily Run - Long Course listing for Aug 14.

I was able to get the following times from the Ron & Jon show archives:

1/4     251.007
Mile 1 291.154
Mile 2 305.023
Mile 3 326.969 Wow !!!!!! (Stock Body 53 Stude)

That is an amazingly fast speed - too bad it didn't count!   Their qualifier (on Aug 13) was in Mile 2 at 282.694, so they had to use the 305.023 speed from Mile 2 on the record run for a 293.694 average.  At least they know it's got a blue hat in it someplace!

"...Mile 3 326.969 Wow !!!!!! (Stock Body 53 Stude)..."

Proof of the old adage that there's nothing like cubic horsepower.  That and enough weight/traction to get it to the ground.

Grand run to hear, for sure.  Congratulations on getting the car to the salt so it can stretch its legs. :cheers:
