I got more curious:
The new record was 3343 feet of Lego track with 10 speed regulators, meaning
0.63 miles or just over 1 kilometer. It traveled the distance in 42 minutes,
making the average speed 0.9 mph (1.45 kph), translating to nearly 40 miles per
hour in minifig scale (about 64 kph minifig scale).
