The Xydias and Batchelor Streamliner is seen at Bonneville in 1950 sporting black primer. The boys are celebrating for some unknown reason. Could it be because they grabbed a first in Class A Streamliner with V-8 60 power with a speed of 164.59 mph and set a new class record at 162.950 mph? Or maybe it was grabbing a first in Class C Streamliner with 275" '48 Merc power with a speed of 205.479 mph and setting a new class record of 208.927 mph. But then again, maybe it was setting the fastest speed of the meet with the C line at 210.896 mph. You be the judge.
