    Craig Breedlove (March 23, 1937 – April 4, 2023) was an American professional race car driver and a five-time world land speed record holder. He was the first person in history to reach 500 mph (800 km/h), and 600 mph (970 km/h), using several turbojet-powered vehicles, all named Spirit of America.

    As a teenager, I followed Craig's pursuit of the world land speed record closely!

    I grew up on his exploits. Just a California hot rodder, built the first Spirit in his home garage. I saw it in the museum in Chicago. And I have his last book on my nightstand.
