I must admit I've never seen any other number than 622 for Blue Flame!
Sid.
you be a victim, as so many, of all this self announced historian who writes on places like Wikipedia or on own webpages
wrong or fake information, as they haven't the clue for five cents....
Historic, and especially here the Speed Record World, is a mess as so many legends and not correct facts are written and published...once published, the next guy makes
copy & past, and here again the wrong information can be read....
instead of checking the real facts....or shut up when they don't know right....
my interest in speed starts in 1970 (with the Blue Flame) and I went into historic in 1975....the archive needs meanwhile more than 160 square feet...not counting the GB's of datas
on my PC world....before I write a comment I check the facts....or I tell my information and ask...can someone confirm this facts or did someone got a different information....
the biggest issue in Speed Historic....other than sport like American Football....if something happens, there was no written documentations...or what found his way on paper
was written by people who normally wrote about American Football......
as a journalist you can't live from Speed Records article.....
in the other hand....if you create articles or videos about Speed Records....you be responsible for the facts....make your homework right.....
and to all, who never have heard from the 630 mph record....you be in good company....the Smithsonian didn't know it, too
