In 1976 some crazy lunatic tries the longest car jump in history. He attempts to jump 1 mile, from an 8 story ramp in a 280mph rocket powered car.

Too funny. What made him think it was going to stay nice and level for a mile in the air, the sticks for wings he used? Pretty cool when they said go, he hit 280mph in mere seconds.  |

4 years of planning...1 million dollar budget.......not much left to spend on the car then...they needed bigger wings!!!!

LOL!
Technically speaking, putting any kind of wings on the car should be considered cheating... Any attempt at a world record long jump with a car, should be made with an unmodified car. Also with a normal piston engine. |
