On October 6, 1959, Mickey Thompson took the fastestride ever powered by automotive engines. Doing it, heset a new American Land Speed Record and four Inter-national Unlimited Records — for 5 kilometers, 5 miles,10 kilometers, and 10 miles. (John Cobb, the only manever to drive faster than Thompson’s 363.67-mph mark,did so powered by huge aircraft engines.)Thompson, who had already become America’s fastestdriver, spent a year carefully designing and building hisfabulous speedster. He powered it with four big Pontiacmills — one for each wheel. And to spark these engineshe chose Champion plugs.Mickey Thompson knew from his own record-settingexperience that he could depend on Champions to deliverevery possible rpm from his specially blended racing fuel.After all, Champions had already sparked the power forthe world’s fastest 500-mile sprint car races (Monza andIndianapolis), the fastest automobile race ever run(100-mile sprint at Daytona), and the fastest stock carrace ever run (Daytona, 500 miles). And Championshad set stacks of other records, too.Whether you’re getting ready to run for a record, orjust looking for top all-round engine performance, youtoo can depend on Champions . . . the speed world’sfavorite spark plugs.
