left: The Burkland’s “411” streamliner after a run at Bonneville. Both parachutes are visible as well as the hydraulically operated rear panels that swing out to produce additional drag. The fabrication skills of the Burkland family are plainly evident on this beautiful car. This streamliner is the fastest piston-driver car in the world, according to SCTA/BNI, at two-way arerage of 417.020 mph. The car has gone as fast as 450 mph. | right: Tom Burkland with his mother Betty and his father Gene.
