In 1935 David Jenkins set a land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats with a speed of 67.677 mph using a 1932 Allis Chalmers Model U.
That record held for 81 years before Jack Donohue set a new record of 96mph in 2015 with a 1952 Ford 8N. Donohue is a former NASCAR driver with a farming background. He built and drove the Ford which was repowered using a Ford flathead V8.
