Lesson72    A car called Bluebird

The great racingdriver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles perhour. He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats,Utah. Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him. It wasover 30 feet in length and had a 2500 horse-power engine. Although Campbellreached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty incontrolling the car because a tyre burst during the first run. After hisattempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had beenmade. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time, racingdrivers have reached speeds of over 600 miles an hour. Following in hisfather's footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm's son, Donald, also set up aworld record. Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.
