Herda Dies in Blazing Inferno at Bonneville
Robert Herda 43, of Portola Valley California, was killed when his streamlined class C racer burst into flames at 282 MPH during the 21st Bonneville national speed trials. The fire, likely from a leaking fuel line, burned the nitromethane fueled vehicle as his wife and daughter watched from the starting line eight miles away. The spokesman compared the blaze to the Cape Kennedy tragedy of 1967.
