5. From the Bangshift online magazine"

“The Bonneville 200 MPH Club reports the death of Craig Breedlove, a SoCal hot rodder who became the first man over 500 and 600 mph on land, and who was a pivotal figure in the land speed wars of the ‘60s in his Spirit of America cars. Everyone needs to see the spectacular documentary linked here, showing Breedlove’s pure joy at being alive after running 526 mph, hitting a phone pole, launching 30 feet in the air off an embankment, and plunging into the water at the end of the Bonneville Salt Flats. Godspeed to an absolute legend. ” -David Freiburger
