Stan Barrett (born June 26 1943) is a Hollywood stuntman stunt coordinator and actor. His biggest act was however outside the movie world. On December 17 1979 he attempted to break the Land Speed Record and the sound barrier in the Budweiser Rocket rocket-powered three-wheel vehicle. His calculated speed was 739.666 miles per hour (Mach 1.01) which would have made Barrett the first man to break the sound barrier in a land vehicle.
