Land Speed Records

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank, my bad, I'll take your word regarding the American Spirit record, I just haven't been unable to find anything regarding a record run. The article about the Javelin Speed Spectacular said that the stream liner never ran, but it must of ran some time after that article was originally printed.

When I originally searched the net, I found the following list of Breedlove's (5) Land Speed Records;

Breedlove Land Speed Records

September 5th, 1963 - Breedlove reached 408.312 mph (657.114 km/h) in the Spirit of America at Bonneville Salt Flats, thus making him the holder of the land speed record in 1963.

October 13th, 1964 - Breedlove reached 468.719 mph (754.330 km/h) in the Spirit of America Sonic 1 at Bonneville Salt Flats, reclaiming the land speed record from Art Arfons.

October 15th, 1964 - Just two days later, Breedlove beat his own record and breached the 500mi/h barrier at 526.277 mph (846.861 km/h), still driving the Spirit of America Sonic 1 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah.

November 2nd, 1965 - Breedlove reached 555.485 mph (893.966 km/h) in the Spirit of America Sonic 1 at Bonneville Salt Flats, yet again reclaiming the land speed record from Art Arfons.

November 15th, 1965 - Thirteen days later, in order to compete with Arfons, Breedlove breached the 600mi/h barrier at 600.842 mph (966.961 km/h) in the Spirit of America Sonic 1 at Bonneville Salt Flats.

I did not see any record for the American Spirit, so I posted that info. However, in retrospect, this list is probably only for the unlimited stream liner records that he set. Sincerely, Pat
