SPEED DUEL: The Inside Story of the Land Speed Record in the Sixties
The true story of the epic quest in the 1960s for the world land speed record. With little more than ingenuity, hard work and daring, eight men set out to build cars powered by aircraft piston engines, jets and even rockets to race on the eerie moonscape of the Bonneville Salt Flats. By 1964 only two contenders remain: Craig Breedlove driving Spirit of America and Art Arfons in his Green Monster. What begins as a hot rodder’s dream of speed turns into a deadly game of Russian roulette with jet cars as Breedlove and Arfons vie to push the record higher and experience some of the most spectacular crashes in motorsport history. With the 600-mph mark looming and neither willing to back down, there seems only one way this story can end: one of them has to be killed.
