Blue Flame on the salt flats The Blue Flame was the high-performing, ultra high-speed, rocket-powered vehicle which achieved the world land speed record on Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah on October 28 1970. The Blue Flame was constructed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by Reaction Dynamics, a company formed by Pete Farnsworth, Ray Dausman and Dick Keller who had developed hydrogen peroxide rocket dragsters. The Blue Flame used a mix of hydrogen peroxide, pressurized hellium and LNG (liquified natural gas) to eclipse previous speed records set with jet engine powered vehicles. The effort was sponsored by the The American Gas Association, with technical assistance from the Institute of Gas Technology of Des Plaines, IL.
The Blue Flame's record 1065.8 km/h lasted for 13 years and was set as an average of achieved speed in both ways (617.601 + 627.207= 617.602 miles/h). The driver, Gary Gabelich, was of Croatian ancestry and native of San Pedro, California.
