SIR MALCOLM
NOT. ABLE To
BREAK MARK
Accident To Cowling Held Re-

Racer

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, March
2. U.P)-Sir Malcolm Campbell fail
ed to break his own world automo-
bile speed mark of 272.108 miles an
hour today when he and the mighty
Bluebird could average only 205.632
N. p. h. in two runs in opposite di-
rections over the measured mile on
the ocean speedway.
Campbell made his fastest time in
the fourth mile going south over the
II mile course when Bluebird whip
ped in and out of the timing traps
at a speed of 22756O miles an hour
Under the international racing
laws, Campbell was forced to use
this same mile coming back to
make his time official, although it
wasn't his fastest lap coming home.
On the north run Campbell went
through the same mile at speed
of 187.110, for an average of 205 .632.
Had he been able to use the famed
measured mile, in the center of the
course, his average would have been
better, for he came through that lap
at 298212.
Campbell made no excuses for
his time, other than to say that he
really meant it Yesterday when he
said he would only test the car, and
that he did not, at any time, let
Bluebird out. ,.... ~.
He said the beach was very salts
factory, but to those in the timing
tower it appeared that the south
run was bumpy. .-1...----.-..- -..-s..4ss' .
Campbells efforts were thwarted
by a mishap to Bluebird's, engine

vealed after his runs.
1.-THE spectators didn't see it, F."
Campbell said YEARLY as he sat in
his hotel room, "but on my first run,
going south, the right engine cowl-
ing ripped away. 1t ripped when,
heated to tremendous temperature
by the six exhaust pipes, the alum
mum expanded and gave away.
There it was before me, white hot,
flapping crafty. A second later it
dropped down over the exhaust pipe
mouths partially blocking them. Bill
lows of deadIy, burning fumes were
driven back into the cockpit"
The accident occurred just a mile
and a half south of the measured
mile. Campben Immediately lifted
his foot from the throttle and start
ed to apply brakes, This undoubted-
list cost him speed Of 800 miles
an hour, for he had swept through
the fourth mile at 299 miles an
hour and was still picking up speed.
