Craig Breedlove, the Southern California hot rodder who assembled a team of engineers and street racers to bolt rocket engines onto wheels, has died. He was 86.

Craig Breedlove was the speed king of the Bonneville Salt Flats in the 1960s.
Breedlove set records at more than 400, 500 and 600 mph in jet-powered cars running surplus fighter jet engines.
There may never be another time so freewheeling and downright amazing as those years in the early ‘60s on the salt flats.

Craig Breedlove was a hot-rodder in his younger days.

Breedlove lived an exciting life and made it to 86. He definitely had a "good run" at life.
