Wow, a 65 year old record. It seems routine for so many records to fall to the new younger talent with better equipment and raining. I remember when a 4 minute mile was world record fast. Now the men's record is 3:43.13. No woman has come close to a 4 minute mile.
Porsche ran a 6:13 back in 1983 and everyone said it would really hard to beat, and they were right. Now the Porsche 919 has done it at 5:19.55, almost a full minute faster. It will be a long time before someone beats that.
I wonder how long Secretariat's record will stand 1 1⁄2 miles on dirt in history, 2:24 flat.
