Actually it'd 147 mph .

'' The wind was calm and we hurried to make the return or record run. Starting from this
end of the course we got 3/4 of a mile more run up to the measured mile. At the outher end we
started from the 3/4 mile mark because of wet salt. That 3/4 of a mile makes a difference.
Return run 147.0 MPH, with a top speed of 150 exiting the mile. The average of the two runs
was good for 5 MPH over the worlds record.''
