Double Transcontinental Driving Record

The record is almost fully a single case achievement by the author of the article (WP:COI) and is unsupported by reliable sources. Article is unencyclopedic. Ciridae (talk) 19:37, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. ~~You can make a case for Transcontinental (US) driving record (Road & Track does[1]), but double? Naah.~~ It does get a few mentions ( 57-year-old Louis B. Mayer did it,[2] as did the earlier L. B. Miller [3], or at least they claimed to have done it), but those cited in this article have no supporting sources. It's probably better to incorporate Mayer and Miller into Transcontinental (US) driving record. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:47, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
