Drag racer Walter Arfons, with the Wingfoot Express
Drag racer Walter Arfons, with the Wingfoot Express in 1964. Walt was sidelined by illness, so his partner Tom Green drove Wingfoot at 413 mph to break Craig Breedlove's land speed record on Oct. 6, 1964. Three day later, Walt's brother and rival, Art Arfons broke this record. The eight days later Craig Breedlove surpassed it in his Spirit of America Sonic 1'. (CSU_2015_7_421)
