TEAMVESCO returns World LandSpeed Record for wheel-driven vehicles to USA at 458 MPH

October 18, 2001, Bonneville Salt Flats - Land speed racer Don Vesco, driving the Turbinator, built by brother Rick Vesco, demolished a near four-decade stranglehold on the turbine-powered wheel-driven record with an average of 458.440 mph in the mile and 458.208 mph in the kilometer.

The official record certification process for the T-III category by the FIA in Geneva, Switzerland, has already been initiated and once completed, will remove Britain's Donald Campbell as "top dog."

Don Vesco is the first and only person in the history of motorsports to have held top honors for both automotive and motorcycle (318mph set in 1978 and held for 13 years) world land speed records.
