<< The Longest Skid Marks on Record
While trying to set a new one-mile land speed record, Craig Breedlove
inadvertently set another kind of record after he lost control of the Spirit
of America jet-powered car on the Bonneville Salt Flats testing area in
Utah. The vehicle began a skid moments into the run, taking nearly six miles
to decelerate from an initial speed of well over 400 mph. >>
Were the skid marks on the ground or in his pants?? LOL
