According to a banner at the event, the (wheel-driven) land speed record breaking attempt occurs on August 20, 1930. The narration states that Cameron will have to average more than 214 mph. However, the real land speed record at that time - set more than a year earlier, on March 11, 1929 - was 231.446 mph. Beyond this, the thought of Cameron attaining the speeds he does in a car with the unmodified body from an open wheel race car of the time is rather absurd: specially built bodies were already being built to reach these speeds in the 1920s. Beyond the aerodynamic considerations for speed, a potentially even larger problem was creating downforce to provide enough traction at these speeds.
