KAYE DON ARRIVES
WITH HIS MACHINE
Car Is Bigger, Held Better
Than One. Segrave Drove
to amazing Record.
BY EDWARD J. NEIL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


n YEW YORK, March 5.-Another
M carefree, smiling Englishman is
in America today to challenge
death and man-made speeds
on the hard sands OF Daytona Beach.
This time it is Kaye Don, crack Brit
ish race driver, who will follow in the
wheel ruts of his famous English pred
ecessor, Maj. Sir Henry Segrave. Last
March, on the Florida sands that have
cost two American speed kings their
lives, Segrave drove his Golden Arrow
Sunbeam to the amazing record of
25136 miles an hour.
Don, a good-natured veteran of
World War flying days, will try to smash
that record IN bigger and, he thinks,
better Sunbeam, this one mammoth
7-ton creation in silver gray, labeled the
silver Bullet" 1t is his turn to drive
because Segrave, one of his best friends,
has definitely turned from automobile
record-smaShing to his first love, tie
building OF speed boat that Will coE-
quer all time standards on the water.
Don arrived in New York yesterday
on the Berengaria, few cabins away
from where the Silver Bullet lay Grated
and lashed to the forward deck In his
party was his sister. Mrs. Roberts; Louis
Coatalen, mite of a Frenchman who
designs the racing monsters IoI Sun
beam, and eight mechanics. The party
leaves Thursday for Florida. where the
tests must be made under the American
Automobile Association auspices be-
tween March is and March 80.
