Jet Luge

[Lugebob]

Something I just posted on the message boards

t's just now official!!!! The Blue Smoke Jet Luge will be appearing and running the 1/4 mile at Maryland International Raceway on August 20th as the opening "act" for the Jet Wars Show.

Here is the headline for the show:
For the first time ever, witness the world’s fastest fire-breathing Jet Funny Cars and Jet Dragsters in side-by-side eliminations! Plus Bob Motz's JET POWERED Kenworth, the Adrenalin Crew Motorcycle Stunt Show and MIR's exciting FRANTIC 7’s! It's the wildest show in drag racing - don't miss it!

The promoter asked if I could get that "thing" over 55mph.... I just smiled...

For event info goto their site at

Sponsors???


Also a link to a video of my first official ride

I can only say.................

Truly awesome!!

When we PJ-guys start to get dynamic results like this, then I'll really be excited.

I especially like the perspective of a jet luge out-accelerating a V8-powered piece of American iron.

Good work man!! Keep safe, and have fun.

Absolutely amazing. Bob, my hat's off to you.

This ride hasn't stopped long enough for me to take a breath.

2 more videos

The first is the new promotional video to be used to hook or tease sponsors and event hosts. A DVD version is available for commercial interests.

The second one was shot for and aired on Discovery Channel "The Daily Planet" in Canada

Both were shot on Nov 6th, prior to and at Maryland International Raceway during the Import vs Domestic Finals by 2 different video crews.

Have fun and be safe

Those flying boots freak me out... I think I will send him a few FOD screens at least. WOuld hate to see the pilot chute go somewhere it shouldn't. that looks like all balls and zero engineering. I may steal the fuel "bladder" idea though...[/url]

Bob, this is great! You are sure generating some publicity for the sport.

And the TV guys didn't even mangle the story too badly. Good stuff.

Best of luck.
