Breedlove has a long record of breaking records. He was my childhood idol. He is now 76 years old.

I remember reading about Breedlove in Sports Illustrated when I was a kid many moons ago. I was wondering how old he was.

In any case, good luck to Mr. Breedlove. I hope he breaks the record.

Breedlove nearly got killed on a run when the parachute on his car failed and he wound up in a pool of water way past the finish line

I always admired Art Arfrons and his “Green Monster” Basically strapped a J-79 on a set of wheels and took off. Yowzah !
