Bonneville Salt Flats ACK Attack Streamliner Crash

[JuuhachigouSama]

omg that was so scary, I almost cried! But then the dude said "hallelujah" and I felt better cuz it made me laugh, hahahahhaa.

[babaluboo123]

Wow!

Seems like a very fine line between running well and a crash.

Gaining new respect for these guys, everytime I watch a vid.

[atreewithnolife]

BRAVE MEN !!

[bawww13]

Oh man bad crash i had a friend that this happened to but he wasnt so lucky!

[MrSpeedking13]

@bawww13 what car he had? did he die ?

[throttle6]

"He got up and walked away", wow. I'd let them safety inspect my vehicle all day to make sure things were as right as possible, thank you SCTA and who everelse is responsible.

I met these guys in 1997 in Hollister during the ralley, they had not yet tried for the world speed record, which they now have. I might go to the salt flats next month to watch them run. I have sent them a request to see if I can run my Corvette on the 5 mile track, that would be fun and how many people get to do this?

[czmxrider]

Was Jimmy Odom driving when this happend ?

[kirbyvideo]

Yes, it was Jimmy Odom.

My uncle was driving the Ack Attack here...... He was traveling approx 330 mph when he was "hit" by a 5 mph cross wind..... He was not harmed and was actually was back at Bonneville about 3-4 weeks after this crash in the same bike going for the record again.

[bfboobie]

Hallelujah, he got up and walked away

[brebel327]

wow ay!

[kirksandi]

It was a scary few seconds...and i am the one driving the fire truck....Wendover City Fire.

[kirkmach32]

The McKibben/American Honda "Honda Hawk" streamliner fielded for the record back in the early '70s had the same kind of mishap. It lifted, turned and tumbled, got all torn up and John walked away too. His Hawk had a tall tailfin that really made things worse. But the important thing is even though his 'liner broke up and could have been tragic, good technology and sound engineering saves lives. This Ack Attack 'liner is one well-engineered vehicle.

[snivesz32]

wow, that could have gone a million worse ways.

[BigBossen36]

cool video

[gmcjetpilot]

One just died today going for a land speed record on a motorcycle, doing over 200 mph. RIP

[ItsDanielSun]

close call

[genfx303]

Absolutely Amazing... - The narator / camerman sums it up @ 57:00 seconds.

[IRONSEAN7]

how fast was he goin

[kirbyvideo]

Just over 300 mph!

[Jepsion]

speed does not kill... g-force kills!

[loydzilla]

I bet he's still picking seat cover out his butthole.

[bowslap]

That's a definite Oh Sh*t moment right there.  Anyone willing to go that fast on salt(or anywhere) has a few screws loose. Man, I gotta build something and take a road trip to Utah someday...LOL

[Timebombo]

He did a nice job there, got on the chutes right away and that probably kept it from rolling more then it did.

[gigem2015]

awsome!!

[Wholelotofshakingoin]

dONT YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN THEY CRASH.

[benzo430]

Do you know that went wrong?, and will you be at the Texas Mile anytime soon?

[kirbyvideo]

Slight Wind Gust! While this is a motorcycle, you can't lean to correct a variation in direction. You must drive throught it...something that is very difficult to do!!!

[Nubbins]

incredible!!!

[groovyUtube]

That bike crashed repeatedly during the late eighties when I was going there

[kirbyvideo]

Must be a different streamliner. Constuction was started in late '02 and the video you see was shot in '04 and the first time the streamliner had been run at high speed.

[groovyUtube]

Sorry I was thinking it was the Bub Harley from the 80's I remember one run it layed over on its side, skidded and popped back up on its wheels and sorta continued on with its run.

[Threadoflength]

Wow thats one fast firetruck... caught him up in no time

[kirbyvideo]

Ya, everythings fast at Bonneville. Acutally I edited out about a minute and a half so you would'nt be left in suspense!!

[NikitasGuitars]

lol

[gigiogigio]

Che culo! Non si è fatto nulla

[zorbazig]

This guy was really very lucky...

[Wholelotofshakingoin]

Sounded great until the girl yelled.Sure he's up but will have to change his shorts.

[jsasson001]

Hey, was that the smoking hot chic from the Suzuki commercial, "Do you think you can handle it?"
