Baskerville had followed the Burklands at Bonneville since 1990, and they finally took the piston land speed recordOn September 16, 1947, Great Britain's John Cobb established a 394.196-mph land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in his Railton Mobil Special. He overshadowed that achievement the very same day with an astounding 403.135-mph one-way blast that marked the first-ever penetration of the 400-mph mark by a wheel-driven vehicle.inline_mediumwraptextright25705340/thehistoryof/hrdp_0503_burkland_family_race_teamhrdp_0503_01+bu rkland_family_land_speed_racing_team+.jpgTrue
