Sports: Midget Auto Record. On the Bonneville salt flats, Col. A.T. ('Goldie') Gardner of England races his streamlined midget auto to 16 new U.S. and international records. 6' 3' Gardner drives his car in reclining position. VO says Gardner is 60 years old - senior citizen breaking records. VS before the attempt. Sign which includes Triple A (American Automobile Association) logo and says "World Record Trials." The car speeds along. POV shot along salt flats race course, as if inside the car (but doesn't seem to be going as fast).
