An L.A. hot rodder with a high school education, a family to support and almost no money, Craig Breedlove set out in the late 1950s to do something big: harness the thrust of a jet in a car. With a growing obsession that would cost him his marriage, he started building in his dad's garage. The car's name: Spirit of America. Through perseverance and endless hard work, Craig completed Spirit and broke the land speed record on the Bonneville Salt Flats, setting a new mark of 407 mph in 1963. In the early 1970s he turned to rockets and set an acceleration record at Bonneville that stands to this day. He built a jet car in the 1990s, Spirit of America–Sonic Arrow, to go head-to-head against Britain's ThrustSSC to be the first to Mach One. Craig's subsequent crash at 675 mph remains the fastest in history. Even today, at the age of 80, he is going strong with plans for yet another Spirit of America racer. The ultimate goal: 1,000 mph. Ultimate Speed is the authorized biography of Craig Breedlove, a candid revelation of one of motorsports' most interesting figures based primarily on countless hours of interviews with Craig and dozens of people connected to his life.

In the book "Energy Universe" the essential ideas of the Energetic Physics were briefly given. A New Quantum Model is presented. It was made clear that the Universe is not material, but an energy derivative. I.e. the energy is the base and the atomos is the energy quantum itself. There are only two Fundamental forces in the Universe - the Absolute Entropy and the Absolute Gravity. Everything in the real/physical world had been polarized by the Fundamental forces. The relativity is inverse, i.e. the energy and the energy derivative structures are relative in the Absolute Time-Space not vice versa. The Universe is not closed, but opened and a developing energetic system.
