		And then there is Gary Gabelich at Bonneville trying to set a new Land Speed record in the Blue Flame.
		Gary was all strapped in and the countdown came down to one and there was a huge explosion, a tremendous cloud of fire and smoke came out the back of the Blue Flame, and where the rocket car had been setting was suddenly vacant.
		Happy beyond belief, Gary Gabelich's first words were, "Man, what a kick in the ass that was." Oh his speed on that run was a measly 320 miles an hour, he set the record three weeks later with a run of 622.407, which was another kick in the ass.
