Bonneville Salt Flats Utah ('85) w/my 1969 Porsche 911s, 2.7 litre, 6 cyl, aircooled, mech fuel injection, 195hp. Kit installed to 1980 profile. |
|
Right here in the 1960's, jet powered vehicles and names like Craig Breedlove (600.6 mph) and Art Arfons (576.55 mph) captured the imagination of millions. In 1970, Gary Gabolich's rocket car, "Blue Flame", attained a spectacular 622.4 miles per hour.
