Hi everybody. I’m writing to pass along some information that Motorsports forum members might find interesting. Since my book “Speed Duel” was published last October (it’s about the quest for the land speed record in the 1960s, especially the rivalry between Craig Breedlove and Art Arfons) I’ve been thinking about all the material I collected while doing research that I wasn’t able to use, transcribed interviews and photos and other things. I’ve therefore decided to do something about it: On a new website I’m putting together I’ve included an LSR section. Go to http://www.samelhawley.com and click on the “Land Speed Record” button on the left. So far I've uploaded interiews and photos relating to Spirit of America, Green Monster, Wingfoot Express, City of Salt Lake, Flying Caduceus, Challenger and Bluebird. There will be more to follow—notably more Spirit and Green Monster photos, plus a section on the Infinity racer driven by Glenn Leasher.

All the best,

Sam Hawley
