Sig Haugdahl
of Albert Lea, Minnesota ran a world record pace of 180 m.p.h. in the Wisconsin
Special on the beach at Daytona Beach, Florida in 1922 thus breaking the previous world record by 24 m.p.h. The car was 16 feet long, 30 inches
wide, with direct drive, and was powered by an 836 cu. in., 250 h.p. Wisconsin all-aluminum 6-cylinder aero-engine. Haugdahl's run was not recognized as a world record
however, as Haugdahl was not a member of the American Automobile Association
at the time of his run
