Was testing a friend's Honda in the Super Bike class and blew a front tire just as I let off the throttle going into turn one. That just happened to be the end of the longest strait. I bailed and landed on my ass. Slid about 300 feet into the hay bails. Burnt my butt and wore the heels off by boots and ruined a new pair of gloves.
Only a tach, thus the 'estimated.'
The bike took 8th the next day. Different rider! I decided shortlly after to devote my efforts to the quarter mile!
Ok - I'll be the jerk here.
What, exactly, are we calling "projects" ? The definition of that term seems to have varied greatly, depending on where I lived.

I guess the scariest place I've ever been was at the Carlsbad Caverns in South Dakota. I don't know why the heck it was scary. I was like 9 or 10 years old or something. I guess it was just being in such a big, dark, enclosed area. *shrugs* Looking back on it, it really shouldn't have been that big of a deal.

Mine would have to be in a Ferderal prison in Argentina during the 70's when all those people got killed and got dumped in the ocean by the military. They tortured my friends and I really good. Fortunately my dad had friends in high places and was able to get me out. If you've never been stripped, had water poured on you and wires tied to your privates and plugged in to a car battery, then you really haven't lived yet. Bastards. :|
Well, notice I didn't mention my underwear!
I was lucky.....into the turn and it was about 50 feet to the bails and they were against a guardrail. I was lucky the tire went so fast. Someone thought they heard a boom but I heard nothing but a WHOOSH! It was an old airport so ther wasn't much around.
well today my motorcycle fell and I went with it, it wasent a bad fall but it was the first time I did fall off my bike. pretty scard. The worst part thou was fixing it aferwards
Since I never went on a roller coaster before, my friend encouraged me to go on one. I said fine, and I didn't really think it was a big deal. Even though there weren't any upside-down turns, I nearly p*ssed my pants. I was so scared after the ride that I've never been on a roller coaster since then.
Oops, I guess a roller coaster isn't a scary place after all.

The slums of Tijuana, working with drug addicts - who were attempting to kick the habit - in building their rehab center. Mission trip. One year when the group was down there, we recieved some warning that a group of bandits who had been hijacking other Christian groups was out to get ours (this was a year I didn't attend, so I only have second hand stories). They pulled up camp and moved to an unexpected location so the vehicles and equipment weren't stolen.

If he could talk about it, I bet his story would win
Anyways, the most dangerous place I've ever been is triple overhead surf with tidal and rip currents that felt like they could suck a Boston Whaler under :QWith half a litre of Jagermeister coursing through me, resting on the train tracks.... I had gone there to pee but they were so comfortable I had to lie down for a moment....
