| 2 | In 1964 while attempting to set a speed record at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats, the steering, brakes and parachute on his vehicle failed simultaneously, resulting in the car rocketing into a pond at 200 mph. It also resulted in an entry in the Guinness Book of World Reocrds for the world's longest skid marks--five miles. |
| 3 | One of the cameramen filming Breedlove's record-setting runs in the mid-1960s was a young George Lucas, who was so impressed by the way Breedlove raced that he paid an homage to it in the pod race sequences in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999). |
