Jim “Jet” Neilson: World-Record Jet Limo Driver and High-Speed Innovator
For more than five decades, Jim “Jet” Neilson has chased the impossible—turning steel, fire, and ingenuity into speed records that made history. Known around the world as a jet car driver and builder, Jim carved his path in the high-stakes world of extreme motorsports through precision, courage, and relentless drive.
From his early days in Southern California garages to the blinding straights of Nevada’s desert tracks, Jim turned his obsession with motion into mastery. Along the way, he built and piloted some of the most advanced jet-powered vehicles ever to touch asphalt, each one a fusion of engineering innovation and fearless performance.
But the road to becoming a world record holder wasn’t smooth. Behind every victory came setbacks, close calls, and lessons learned at 300 miles per hour. Jim’s journey reflects more than horsepower—it’s a story of resilience, risk, and reinvention.
Today, Jim continues to inspire a new generation of racers, builders, and dreamers who share the same need for speed. His upcoming memoir peels back the visor, offering an inside look at the challenges, triumphs, and untold stories of life lived at the edge of control.
“The track doesn’t care about your fears—it only measures your courage.” – Jim “Jet” Neilson
Stay tuned for the release of Jim “Jet” Neilson’s autobiography—where the road finally tells its story.
