There are at least two books out about Bert (or Burt as he came to be known). Indian Legend of Speed and One Good Run. Both need to be read to better appreciate Burts comittment and single mindedness.
He did quite a bit more than go fast in straight lines. The movie is a compilation of almost a decade of trips that he made to the lake and entirely glosses over his other achievements. And he fairly alienated most of his family in the process.
Quite a character was Burt.
