Steady.I think you hit the nail on the head there its a record because the course is measured out and the time verified on timing equipment by officials !!
 I would imagine the original record stood for a long time as these sort of meetings are rare and cost a lot to put on. But for me its sad that all these years later the record has been broken by an over the counter type car unlike Sir Malcolms original record setting car .
