Break The Record is a documentary covering the successful world land speed record run by Blue Flame in 1970 – it was to be the last time the Americans would hold the record, and it was also the last time the outright land speed record would be set at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
With a 13 minute running time, Break The Record is a quick watch that gives excellent insight into the Blue Flame team, and it offers a look back at Bonneville in its heyday. If you’d like to read more about the Blue Flame you can click here.
