Good God thats fast...In less than a second you would pass out and be pulped...They need Inertial Dampers to make it safe for humans...Maybe they can borrow the Enterprises

So, if I spray helium in front of my GTS I can go quicker! Hmmm...
Did you see that guy with the rocket stuck in the trunk of an early 70's Lincoln MarkIV shoot off that ramp the other night on TV?

Re: The

i read that same article yesterday in popular mechanics. i love rocket sleds. they rock. no pun intended. ever see the vid of the dude riding 1 in new mexico back in like the early 60's. this ***** pulled like 40 g's at like 300 mph and detached his retinas from his eyeballs on shutdown. his face was like a parachute deploying on a free fall in the wind.

Re: The

i have vid of that lincoln with the jet engine in the trunk. it is spectacular. his launch speed was like 250 mph and as soon as he got airborne the car started 2 disintegrate. that ***** f'r driven that mob car was 1 hell bent dude

Re: The

being the speed freak that i am i have vids and magazine articles of just about every kind of speed machine u can think of. anyway, my favorite is the infamous budwieser rocket car of 1978. the hired gun 2 pilot the rocket car was hollywood stuntman stan barret. he was the first man ever to break the sound barrier on land. it was done at edwards airforce base in a very lightweight solid rocket fueled car with a sidewinder missile added for extra boost. he went from 0-750 mph in like 15 seconds. it was never officially recognized as the world record because the timing equipment they were using was not the same as what they use out in the salt flats. sure does remind me of the crap that svs turbo has been thru lately. anyway, all the cry babies out their are nuthin but a bunch of losers. jet cars take like over a minute to reach there top speed of 750 mph. and the only jet car to ever go that fast was richard nobles thrust ssc car from britian in the late 90's.
i have a hot rod magazine from the early 90's that shows a guy who clustered 7 aerotech g-40 model rocket motors together and strapped them to the back of his street luge skateboard. this created 280 lbs of thrust for 4 seconds. he fired them off when he rolled to the bottom of the hill in the flat at 60 mph. he hit a top speed of 100 mph. when he came to a stop his kryptonic skate board wheels had melted. i was thinking about clustering 4 of them and trying for a top speed of 50 mph standing up on my my monster skateboard that i put together out in kali a couple of years ago. i have hit 30 mph standing going down hill with my hand held gps.

I saw that, they had it on the Discovery Channel the other week, it was a show on rockets I think.

The look on his face was priceless, it was like stuck in position like you were describing with the parachute. I could imagine what 40G's must feel like, that damn rocket stopped on a dime from that speed, that sure as hell will detach your retinas and make you look like a bowl of jello

They also showed that wicked fast rocket posted above, man, you could barely make out a blur when it went by, when the rockets were fired I had never seen something accelerate so freaken fast before.

Re: The

not anymore. the boards i have now are just beach cruzers mostly. i used to skate an empty swimming pool back in the day until i took my bmx bike to the pool. that was the beginning of a very long 2 wheeled love affair for me that continues to this day. i bust some freestyle moto-x on my cr-500 every once in a while. jumped 80 feet last month.

Re: The

The highest (recorded) g-forces a human has ever endured is 47 G's. He was strapped to a rocket sled similar to this one. His retinas detached from the eyeballs and was blind until they reattached..

Re: The

i pulled 4g sustained banked turns earlier this year while flying a mig-15 fighter jet. i wasn't wearing a g-suit either. started getting tunnel vision and had 2 rely on my instruments 2 complete the hairpin turn. i pulled some 4g climbs and dives 2. i hit a top speed of 400 knots which equals 460 mph.

Re: The

there is a roller coaster in nevada down by the border of kali in a town called primm. the casino is called buffalo bills, and the coaster is called wild bill i think. anyway, the coaster has one of the tallest and fastest drops in the world. the first drop is like 240 feet and u reach a top speed of 90 mph. it is so high that the last 40 feet of drop go into a tunnel underground where u hit 9 g's as a result of the quick transition that shoot u back up out of the tunnel. i have ridden this coaster like 3 times and it is like a whack and crack em chiropractor.

if u ever go down there look for the 2 lane road that heads west off the freeway up that long hill right b4 u get 2 primm. i hit 160 mph going down this hill in a 1997 c-5 vette five years ago and 175 mph in my viper last year.

Re: The

did some research on the rocket sled man. he actually decellerated from a top speed of 632 mph to a complete stop in 1.4 seconds. out of this world!!! anyway, i can't find any info on how long it took him to achieve his top speed of 632 mph before they thru the boat anchor out on him. but u can bet it didn't take long because the sled track was only like 3 miles long! also this was done in like 1949.
i have been on superman the roller coaster ride out at magic mountain in kali. i get in the front car and was blasted from a complete stop to a top speed of 100 mph in 6 seconds b4 i shot straight up in the air like 300 feet on the railroad tracks. it was alot of fun and for some reason very loud. the tracks are wide and the coaster is huge.
my turbocharged drag bike goes from 0-100 mph in like 6 seconds too. i just checked my 1/8 mile time slips from my local drag strip and my et and speed at the 1/8 mile is 6.96 seconds @ 107.55 mph. go 4 a ride on superman at magik mountain in so. kali and u will get an idea of what it is like when i launch my drag bike. except on the drag bike u are not strapped in and of course your are on 2 wheels not 4+. also u have to steer the drag bike with your body because for the first 60 feet your front tire does not even touch the ground. the level of concentration is very high when line up at the x-mas tree. a nuclear bomb could go off and i wouldn't even know it. i am only running a drag radial and i need a slick because i am spinning my tire all the way through 1st gear despite my wheelie bar and 20 lbs of air pressure and 10 second burnout. my best 60 foot time to date is only 1.77 seconds. track elevation is 3,075 feet.

Re: The

632mph to 0 in 1.4 seconds? Can anyone calculate what those g-forces (average) would be? Seems unsurvivable to me.

Re: The \"Fastest Ride on Earth\" !!!!!! 6 4 1 6 m p h !!!!!!

His name was John Paul Stapp. December 10,1954 is the day he went 632 mph. 0-632 in 5 seconds. He lived until 1999 when he was 89.

When I watched the show, they said 47 G's, the dude looked like a bowl of jello and his retinas became detached. It was crazy, I have no idea how they got it to stop so fast (just like I said in my post above, it stopped on a dime). He was just hauling a$$, and then bam, he stopped from that speed almost instantly . I thought they said something about seriously bruised internals also .

If anybody watched the show, did they use water to stop the rocket, if you watched it you would notice that right when the rocket is stopping it looked like it went through some kind of water pit or something on the track b/c it looked like water was spraying everywhere as it came to a stop.

Re: The

the contraption had something like 48 separate brakes on it. do a search on the net 4 rocket sleds and there are pix and specs on the sled and track. 0-632 mph in 5 seconds is awesome. man that guy must have been trying to catch his breath 4 like a week! ahy chihuahua!!! i have vid of the budweiser rocket car but i don't have any vids of rocket sleds. if anybody knows how and where i can get some flix let me know. gracias

Re: The

Putting up links. I 'm working on getting a rocketsled clip that a friend of mine has on his computer. When the sled hits the concrete wall it sends out a shockwave that is bizarro looking. Almost looks like it bends space and time.

Re: The

They used brakes and standing water. That I'm sure, but maybe other "help" as well.

47 G's. I wonder if anyone has done more and lived.

Re: The

Someone was telling me there is a video floating around of a Lambo hitting a body of water at 180mph or so and skipping across to the other side.... this sounds far fetched, and then the same guy adds wings and lifts the Lambo into the air and glides for a distance!

On the same principle of skipping a stone across water at the right angle and speed - I guess it is possible - anyone seen these vidoes or know where to find them? I'm pretty sure they're online somewhere.

Re: The

This is the test from the above link called "Sled Stuff"

Still working on getting the rocket sled test that sends a huge shockwave through the air.

This was a test for the durability of the concrete for a nuclear reactor.

i was thinking about clustering 4 of them and trying for a top speed of 50 mph standing up on my my monster skateboard that i put together out in kali a couple of years ago. i have hit 30 mph standing going down hill with my hand held gps.

Freddy, I'll race you. I'll be on my Specialized road bike, just fix me up with some model rockets to strap to my back.

Fastest I've gone on my bike is 35 down a steep hill in my old community with a blind curve that most people cut into when driving up the hill. Nearly been hit there a couple times. On flat roads, I generally am able to get 28 without wind and 32 MPH with wind to my back.
