Once again the false information on a speed attained by the late Mickey
Thompson is repeated.

John Cobb - 14th September 1947 - return run mile average Speed 403.135
mph.  This was a back up run to give a two way average speed of 394.196 mph

Mickey Thompson - 9th September 1960 - outward run mile average 406.60mph. 
This run was not backed up.

On my reckoning 1947 is some 13 years BEFORE 1960.
