`  == Should Glenn Curtiss's 1907 record be included ==  In 1907 Glenn Curtiss set a speed record on a motorcycle which was faster than the then current car record.  Since this article is ``land speed record`` and not ``automobile speed record``, it seems like the Curtiss record should be included (albeit with a note in the comments that the record was not recognized by the French, same as the Ford 999 record).`
