Stan Barrett and Rocket Car

Stan Barrett, former Air Force medical technician, stands beside his rocket powered car. Born June 26, 1943, Barrett is a Hollywood stuntman, stunt coordinator and actor. On December 17, 1979, he attempted to break the Land Speed Record, and the sound barrier in the Budweiser Rocket rocket-powered three-wheel vehicle.  His calculated speed was 739.666 miles per hour, (Mach 1.01), which would have made Barrett the first man to break the sound barrier in a land vehicle. The attempt was surrounded by controversy and the speed was never officially recorded. Photographed at Rogers Dry Lake, Edwards Air Force Base, USA, June 1, 1980.
