When Breedlove brought his Spirit of America to Bonneville, there was a problem with classification. Because it only had three wheels, it was going to classified as a motorcycle. Cars have four wheels.
I was in Breedlove's shop when they were building the second car. The framework was a piece of art.
I think it will be quite a while before anyone breaks the Limey's record.

it was interesting time in land speed racing.

I believe Art Arfons died about 1.5 years ago?  Not sure about Walt.

there has been some interesting discussion over at landracing.com  about the latest ultra high speed cars
