There is a book titled "Speed Duel: The Inside Story of the Land Speed War of the Sixties" which is a good read. A lot of us are old enough to remember it.

Spirit of America, Craig Breedlove. Yeah, they were all pretty cool.

I was watching Mythbusters on Roku, and I was wondering what was going on with the crew. There was a girl on there only occasionally named Jessi Combs who was a race car expert. I saw on there where she died trying to set a new land speed record. A wheel bearing failed. She had already set a new woman's record of 483 MPH I think. Also, I saw where Grant died in 1920 of a brain aneurism. He was 49.
