cowpuc Posted March 23, 2018 Share #2 Posted March 23, 2018 Hoeky spamokey and WOWZY WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! Having been on the salt at Bonneville numerous times I can attest that even though that surface is amazingly flat and perfect for doing that kind of stuff,,,, at those kinds of speeds in that light of a vehicle - it probably dont take make of an irregularity in the surface to lift the machine up and get air under it resulting in it taking flight like that puppy did -and there irregularities out there!! Another positive thing about crashing on the salt is there really isnt much to run into out there,,, just slide and slide and slide... WOW that is amazing!!! WOWZY = +300 mph!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh3 Posted March 24, 2018 Share #7 Posted March 24, 2018 I think it actually in Australia. I didnt even know they had a salt flats there. Anywho although I dont want to crash at any speed It dont look really violent. Sort of fell over then got up in air. It does have a roll cage etc, but the landing had to hurt.
