A good story on Thrust 2 - however the narration continues to erroneously refer to The Blue Flame's absolute world land speed record as 622 mph. That was the slower mile flying start record, the absolute world land speed record set by The Blue Flame was 630.388 mph in the flying start kilometer. Noble did NOT exceed that by the required 1% speed. However, the absolute world land speed is the FASTEST FIA-recognized world record (mile OR kilometer), so the mile LSR became the absolute world land speed record in 1983. The Blue Flame's 630 mph remained the kilometer world record until 1997.

about Scarf & Goggles,

they surprise me again and again with the photo and movie material they come up in their videos....

I have no idea where they dig that stuff out...always very interesting for a historian like me....

in the other hand...

unfortunately, the comments they have are not always correct...some of them are simple wrong....bad search?...or fake legend they copy from other without challenging this information...

would be great if they could fix that issue

Once an error gets out there on the internet it is almost impossible to correct it. Too many "cut & paste" artists!

I must admit I've never seen any other number than 622 for Blue Flame!

you be a victim, as so many, of all this self announced historian who writes on places like Wikipedia or on own webpages

wrong or fake information, as they haven't the clue for five cents....

Historic, and especially here the Speed Record World, is a mess as so many legends and not correct facts are written and published...once published, the next guy makes
copy & past, and here again the wrong information can be read....

instead of checking the real facts....or shut up when they don't know right....

my interest in speed starts in 1970 (with the Blue Flame) and I went into historic in 1975....the archive needs meanwhile more than 160 square feet...not counting the GB's of datas
on my PC world....before I write a comment I check the facts....or I tell my information and ask...can someone confirm this facts or did someone got a different information....

the biggest issue in Speed Historic....other than sport like American Football....if something happens, there was no written documentations...or what found his way on paper
was written by people who normally wrote about American Football......

as a journalist you can't live from Speed Records article.....

in the other hand....if you create articles or videos about Speed Records....you be responsible for the facts....make your homework right.....

and to all, who never have heard from the 630 mph record....you be in good company....the Smithsonian didn't know it, too  :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

Here is the FIA documentation of The Blue Flame records in 1970. Unfortunately, the American Gas Association PR guys immediately publicized the mile record speed. Since Gary Gabelich refused to sign a contract with Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, they continued to publicize Breedlove.
