[kaymin]

im watching that right now...

good show but too many commercials.

i enjoyed how they attempted to go 360 on the swing and got owned by the circus pro.

They are going to use a 3000 HP rocket! :shocked:

Remote control so far....

 

[tranceport]

That is an old episode isn't it?

I've seen them do a JATO on a car about 2 years ago....

I swear ive seen picture ages ago where the car took off into a mountain, or something like that.

This JATO, isn?t that a small rocket used to help aircrafts take off on small landing strips?

 

[FelixDeCat]

They surmise, based on their test, that this event never happened. The man dying in a 300mph wreckage is a myth.

 

[UlricT]

JATO = Jet Assisted Take off
