Russell, Dick, and others:
The list on the Spirit of America site gives:
1926 - Henry Segrave - Sunbeam - Southport Sands - 152.307
but apparently this record was beaten twice in the next month by
Parry Thomas of Great Britain. Four other Sunbeam records are also
listed at http://ms.shellus.com/SpiritofAmerica/soa_lsr_holders.html
