Two months after crashing into the surf in his innovative 182 cubic inch twin supercharged V-16 powered “Stutz Black Hawk,” Frank Lockhart returned and ran 198.292 mph on his first attempt. Approaching the Measured Mile at 225 mph for a return run, the car blew a tire, tumbled along the beach for 1000 feet, and Lockhart was killed, ending the 1928 trials.
