An 86-year-old man is trying to join the land speed elite after he revealed his streamliner, which he has been building since 1996 as he prepares to race it on Utah's Salt Flats and fulfill his wife's dying wish. Jim Byerly has been obsessed with racing since childhood and has been racing on many tracks over the years, but Fox 17 claims his turbo charger will outperform the rest. When complete, Byerly hopes to bring the vehicle out to Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, where some of the fastest cars have sped away to 500 mph.
