Barney Oldfield in his "Lightning Benz" (aka Blitzen Benz) in 1910. Oldfield took the car on a tour of race tracks across the country after destroying all records for the flying mile on the hard packed sands of Ormond-Daytona Beach in March 1910. In that run, Oldfield recorded a speed of 131.7 MPH - faster than any train, plane, car or animal had traveled up to that time.
