Dick,
This is the track Corvette took all of the Mormon Meteor's FIA records away.
The 5000 Mile record was held by a factory experimental diesel, built by
Mercedes & set in 1976. Here are the records Corvette got in just over one
day:
World Record Previously Held for 50 Years
NEW INTERNATIONAL RECORDS
100 Miles @ 175.600 MPH
500 Miles @ 175.503 MPH
1000 Miles @ 174.428 MPH
5000 KM @ 175.710 MPH
5000 Miles @ 173.791 MPH
12 Hours Endurance @ 175.523 MPH
24 Hours Endurance @ 175.885 MPH for 4,221.256 Miles
WORLD RECORDS - IRRESPECTIVE of CATEGORY or CLASS
5000 KM @ 175.710 MPH
5000 Miles @ 173.791 MPH
