It was thought at first that Eys I ton would let John Cobb, his fa mous countryman, have a crack at the present official mark of 312.2 miles per hour, but Cobb said he i would wait until Kyston determ ined how soon his car—the mass ive silver "Thunderbolt"—would 1 be ready for another run. i Mechanics went to work on the Thunderbolt late today. The elec tric eye timing device failed to catch the car as it roared through tin- measured mile on the second run required for an official rec ord. Observers believed that Kys ton was pushing the machine faster than on the first run when he went at a speed never before attained by man on land. («us P. Uackman. secretary uf the Bonneville Speedway associa tion, said an announcement on the time for K.vston's next trial might be made today.
