The Show

First there�s an audible rumble.� A roar you feel deep in your stomach.� It�s no aircraft.� It�s the Air Force Reserve Above & Beyond Jet Car preparing to accelerate. �Before beginning his show, Scott Hammack, driver, slowly passes before the crowd as the afterburner shoots 20-foot flames, billowing smoke and mini sonic booms.� Then, before you can take a breath, the jet car is racing down the runway in a veil of smoke and shower of scarlet flames.� At the end of the runway, the jet car comes to a standstill.� An airplane above has challenged Scott to a race.� Jaws drop as the aircraft approaches and the jet car accelerates.� Within seven seconds the car overtakes the airplane at speeds of 350 mph or more.� During acceleration Scott is pulling 4.5 Gs, and as he deploys the parachute to bring the car to a stop, he experiences 11 Gs of negative force.� Eyes blinking, the crowd is astonished at what it just witnessed.� Scott safely climbs out of the car.
