Description

Craig Breedlove's obsession with speed began in his garage, driven by a desire to harness the power of a jet in a car. With limited resources and no formal education, he persevered, building the Spirit of America, which would go on to break land speed records. Breedlove's achievements are remarkable: setting multiple world records for speed, including 407 mph at Bonneville Salt Flats in 1963, and pushing the limits of acceleration with his jet-powered vehicles. His determination has endured, even after a crash at 675 mph, which remains the fastest recorded speed. This authorized biography offers a candid look at Breedlove's life, based on extensive interviews with him and those close to him.
