USA. Nytt världsrekord i Indianapolis
Hmm. Hastighetsmätningen var ännu inte standardiserad 1911. Vinnarens hastighet var 74,7 em/t . Okey då vet vi.
En engelsk mil är 1,609344 kilometer.
Hastigheten vid världsrekordet var alltså 120km/h . Bra gasat 1911.
För övrigt visade sig en engelsk mile vara samma som en amerikansk mile något som inte var självklart enligt en jämförelse av sträckan mile i olika länder vid olika tider.
