Fastest you’ve driven and goneOver to my girlfriend’s apartment (now wife) when she said her roommates were gone for the weekend…. Couldn’t tell you the exact speed but was indeed the fastest I’ve ever driven
Maybe. Having crashed at 50 ish, I had the thought, this is going to hurt while in the air before landing. I have also crashed at 70 and just remember hitting the ground and then being 100 yards down the track. Also have been sliding on pavement and gone, this is getting hot, better move a little. So maybe yes, maybe not.
6.7 war hammer power stroke. Crew 4x4. 162 mph. Still pulling hard, lost nerve. Those engines have a lot of potential
@northernalpine my oldest was at Eloy this past new years week competing in the collegiate championships. I never jumped but have hauled hundreds of you when I was building hours. They used the Huey for 1 of 4 accuracy jumps. That made his week!
That’s awesome, Eloy is a pretty incredible spot with a cool subculture. Helo jumps are a whole different kind of falling for that first ~5 seconds, it took me a while before I figured it out and stopped doing the “flailing cat.” To this day I’ll still take a fixed wing platform with a rear ramp any day of the week! Crazy what people are doing in the sky these days: one of my old teammates sent me a video of his kids (17, 20) doing an inverted, synchronized, rotating dance thing with 6 others. Between that, the proximity flying, and some of the “mega” group jumps, I’m impressed half the time and shaking my head the other
That’s crazy! Never heard of a war hammer power stroke.
I had a friend with a geo. It was airborne many a time.
