This is pretty cool. Tops out just over 150 and averaged 139.
They beat the previous record of 127 mph, but here's what gets me; that record was set in 1906. A 130 mph steam car in 1906 is pretty damn staggering.
Oh, wait. Doc Brown was there.

And saying you "smashed" a record by 12 mph is a stretch, especially when that record was set over a freakin' century ago.
