I read somewhere a couple years ago, an Arizona HiwayPatrol found a Chevy
imbeded in a bluff. seems someoone got a hold of a JATO bottle, rigged it in
his trunk and
touched it off. they figured it was doing 300 mph when it left thhe road,
brakes were toasted, I guess the guy was too.
I rode an A3D Skywarrior JATO assist take of once, once is enough!!!
and I thought Carrier shots scared me!
