DON VESCO (current wheel-driven land speed record holder) dead @ 63
Passes: Don Vesco (land speed record holder)
Sadly, I read that Mr. Don Vesco passed on Monday December 16, 2002. Don Vesco drove to capture the current wheel-driven land speed record of more than 458 mph on the salt at Bonneville. Don raced both motorcycles and cars; since childhood I’d watched his records accumulate. Don lost his struggle with prostate cancer at age 63. My thoughts and prayers are with Don; his family, friends and associates. More details of his achievements found at links below. Funeral and memorial details can be found there also.
