Description
It’s 1997 and Craig Breedlove is strapped to the jet engine from a fighter plane and is blasting along at 675 mph. . . in a car. Actually, the “Spirit of America” doesn’t exactly pass for a car in the traditional sense, but what you’re used to being the fastest human alive-on the ground-practicality and rules are out the window. Today, the land-speed record is actually slightly more than the speed of sound, nearly 100 mph faster than Breedlove’s 675.
