Craig Breedlove became the 1st person to break the sound barrier in an automobile in 1998. At Lake Bonneville, Utah, he achieved a trap speed of over 760 MPH.

Unable to improve, it's completely wrong. 15/10/1997 Thrust SSC, LSR av speed 763 MPH. Breedloves speed was unconfirmed and even if reported correctly here is 2 MPH slower.

This all happened at Black Rock Desert in Nevada. Bonneville has taken a back seat to the new speed site in Nevada.

Breedlove did it. Unable to improve? Completely wrong? ??He was or was not first. If not, who? Very unclear.

Very probably the whip, since the "crack" that you get is due to the tip exceeding the speed of sound and causing a sonic boom.

Many rifle bullets are also supersonic (some highly so - approaching Mach 3).

The first human invention to break the sound barrier was the whip. The "crack" of the whip is a sonic boom.
