Craig Breedlove

It´s June 20th, 2025, & I just read Craig passed 4/4/23. I was his brother in law in 1965. I married his wife Leota´s sister, Glenda in 1965. I was 25, & now 85. We were married 32 years. Craig was a hero to me ! I talked to my friends about Craig all the time. I was so proud to know him. So so sorry he passed. My fondest memory is when the 4 of us spent the weekend on the Colorado river water skiing on my boat in 1966. I never have & never will forget Craig.

Godspeed, Speedgod

All I need to say is God Speed Craig Breedlove.

HI CRAIG I remember looking in the paper when you first set the LSR in the Spirit Of America ! I was happy for America and for you also plus the battle between your and Arfons ! You guys made it exciting RIP

Because of my folks getting me a Hot Rod Magazine subscription at 12yrs old and having read it before that...I knew of and followed in awe his land speed attempts and records. He showed what an individual can do with some determination. He is one of my motorsports heroes for sure. Bummed...he is a fixture of the motorsports world and will ALWAYS hold a legendary spot there. My condolences to his family !

My condolences to your family from a daughter of Tom Green (1931-2004), driver and builder of the Wingfoot Express, 413 mph, held for three days in 1964. Heard many stories and read many articles of Craig and Walt Arfons. My thoughts and prayers for your family. He lived a very exciting and focused life. Pedal to the metal.

Craig I was fortunate to volunteer at your shop in Rio Vista as you were a inspiration to me since the earlier land speed days and there I was volunteering at your shop and meeting you going to all your open house events to raise money for Sonic Arrow, hell I was overwhelmed that you knew me by my first name. Godspeed Craig now you're going light speed. Gary
