Guess the best I can counter with is having my name on a Land Speed Record Breaker.
That stood for 16 years from 1990 to 2006!

Now beat this!!! I can walk on the exact same land where that record was set and have done so 3 times!
And I didn't need a Space Suit!

Are you talking about the guy that brought his Triumph motorcycle from England to the salt flats of Utah. My friend give us a little more to go on. And will you be in Daytona this year?

When I first saw the title I thought it was going to be about the Orson Welles 'War of the Worlds ' radio play.

Our news channel had on several occasion days before the event told its viewer about it.

Watch the landing live from 21.30(9.30 pm) Said I'll remember it...well it was first around 22.30 I suddenly came to think of it.
