Both FIA & FIM records were broken in October 1964 by Tom Green and further extended by Art Arfons. Breedlove returned to Bonneville with "Spirit" and pushed the record over , setting it at on October 15, a record that stood for almost two weeks. In setting the new record, at the end of his second run, the "Spirit" lost its braking parachutes, skidding for five miles (8 km), through a row of telephone poles and crashing into a brine pond at around . Drenched but uninjured, Breedlove climbed out of the cockpit and declared, "And now for my next act I'm going to set myself on fire." This feat earned a place in the "Guinness Book of World Records" for "longest skid marks". "Spirit" was recovered and taken to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago as an exhibit. "Spirit of America" also left the ground for the longest distance ever recorded for a ground-based vehicle, when it hit rough ground at the end of the run.. The vehicle is no longer on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.
