Show GAR WOOD TO SEEK RECORD MIAMI BEACH, Fla., March 25 (U.R The world's fastest speed boat and the man who drove her 124.86 miles an hpur in 1932 will ride again tomorrow" at dawn. Binal motor adjustments were made today on Miss America X and her white-haired owner, Gar Wood, ordered her in the water for a test run tomorrow morning. The "test run" might be an assault as-sault upon the record Wood and Miss America X established at Detroit. But if the craft does not behave smoothly, Wood will not open the throttle. Mechanics have installed new superchargers, stepping Miss America's Am-erica's already tremendous horsepower horse-power from 6,400 to 7,400. |
