Craig Bereedlove's Jet Powered Land Speed Record Car

November 15, 1965 – Breedlove Sets New World Land Speed Record At The Bonneville Salt Flats

At that time he set a new record of 600.601 mph for the measured mile - the first time the 600 mph marker had been exceeded

The current (2019) holder of the World Land Speed Record is ThrustSSC,
a twin turbofan jet-powered car which achieved 763.035 mph in October 1997.

This was the first supersonic record as it broke the sound barrier at Mach 1.016.

If my memory isn't lying to me I saw that when it was televised.
