| Description: | In the 1960s the contest for the land speed record heated up on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. At the forefront stood Art Arfons and Craig Breedlove, driving insanely powerful vehicles powered by fighter plane jets. In the space of less than three years they pushed the LSR from 394 to over 600 mph. This website, a “bonus” to Samuel Hawley’s book “Speed Duel: The Inside Story of the Land Speed Record in the Sixties,” contains hundreds of photos and interview transcripts with the people involved. |
