Daredevil attempts to jump a rocket-assisted Lincoln over the St. Lawrence river.
from Canada to New York :laughing7:




 
Breakup after takeoff. How far would Travis pastrami a go on a motorcycle. Is the ramp still there? Zip line across today.
 
I'd say He can be Glad he landed in the water at that speed. He would have killed himself that day already.

Carter returned to stunt driving and on July 1, 1983 attempted to jump a pond in Peterborough, Ontario. The jump failed when the car began to fishtail on the runway and ramp, which ultimately put him in the water. Carter vowed to try the jump again and on September 5, 1983 made another attempt. His car, a 1982 Pontiac Firebird fitted with a homemade rocket, overshot its target landing ramp and landed on its roof. Carter was killed instantly

Apparently no one has the guts to post the video on You Tube :(
