Fearless All-American land-speed racer thrived when Bonneville was the land of speed dreams.
He worked at Douglas Aircraft in Santa Monica as a technician in structural engineering. From that background a future in land speed racing was only natural. In 1959 he bought a surplus J-47 jet engine and got to work on what would be called Spirit of America.
It was on that last run that Breedlove lost both parachutes and all brakes on the car. He careened down the flats unable to stop, scissoring telephone poles along the salt, hit a bump and flew through the air, finally landing nose-first in a salt pond and swimming for his life.
