Akron speed demon Art Arfons dead at 81 Tuesday, December 4, 2007
Two American daredevils have died in the few days. Evil Knievel passed away on Friday and Akron's own Art Arfons died yesterday (Monday). Arfons set the World Land Speed Record several times in the 1960's using a jet powered car he called "the Green monster."

Art Arfons and his Green Monster is Northeast Ohio's LEGEND and a HERO to many. He has a more than deserving spot at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame at Talladega, AL.
