I took a ride in a junky old Grand Prix that had a nitros oxide kit and managed to get up to 169mph down a straight stretch of highway in Alaska. It was probably the most dangerous car ride of my life. \n\nAnyone else break any land speed records?

I’m wondering (with all the permafrost heaves, steep curves and gravel) where in our state there’s a road safe for 169 mph…but happily you survived, so there must be at least one. \n\nAs for me, I’ve enjoyed a lot of speed over the years on the Autobahnen. I’m not sure exactly how fast, but crazy, verrückt FAST! Nothing like it.

I have driven 300+ once I drove it right onto the fringe of a 330 yard hole. Then managed to chip it in from there for an eagle it was amazing. But my best highlight ever was on a 177 yard par three of a pennisula green (water on 3 sides of green), it is a beautiful course and this hole is usually my nemisis, but this time I hit a perfect shot with four witnesses it was straight at the flag and I knew it was a good shot, it hit about three feet in front of the pin, rolled and then disappeared. Everyone there was like "Dude I think it went in!" I was like, "No way it probably rolled off the back of the green or something." Then I walked up to the green and pulled it out the hole for a hole in one. Wow, amazing. I managed to have a decent round shooting 84 for 18 on a par 72 course which for me is a really good round since I usually only shoot in the mid 90's, but I will never forget the shot, I got into the paper and had my name put onto a plaque there it was sweet.

What I am about to tell you is fact i don't care weather or not you believe it i just wanted to share it with others.  \n\nComing out of wallmart, I had bought signs cause I am a huge ufo buff.  well as i was getting into the car and telling ym mom about th emovie we see a bright light in the sky and it just screams off to the right fster then anything could possablely move.  i am talking this thing was in open sky high above us and in 2 second went from over head to the horizon, at least 20 to 25 thousand miles per hour maybe more.  We were both shaken for a minute then decided to watch signs a few weeks after.\n\nBiggest coincidence I have ever had

Driving home from work. I was sitting in traffic and got a little horny so i jumped on the driver. The only thing he told me was to lean more to the right so he can see where he was going. (p.s. driver was a guy i wanted to jump for a very long time)

Minneapolis to Albert Lea (90 miles) on the interstate, in about 45 minutes, in a DeLorean. \n\nNo impact other than the trip back (at about 60) felt like I could get out and walk faster! But can you imagine what the ticket would have cost had I got caught?!\n\nThat was one FAST car!

If you're seious, look into the Nevada Open Road Racing events. I think there is even a web site somewhere. I think once or twice a year there is an area in Nevada that they close down the highway and let people race on it. I know one driver has a 1980's Camaro with only around 300 hp that will run 200 mph. I was surprised he could do it with such low hp, but his car is full blown race car, not street legal at all. I think other states are also starting to do this.  www.openroadracing.com

Yes, I was running accross the street in a pouring rain. When a black car came out from behind a stationary object. They were about 30 feet away going 35 mph (that's what they told the police since that was the speed limit). I was right in front of the driver when I tried to stop and he tried to pull over to the curb as much as he could. As the car got closer, I thought about a lot of things. I was in my first year of marriage, my wife was 5 months pregnant. I finally just surrendered to the Lord's will. The car hit me with the front fender in my right leg. I flipped up in the air and landed in a 3-point stance, facing almost the opposite direction.\nNot only did I suirvive, but my leg wasn't broken either. It truly was the hand of God.Oh yes, by the time I landed, it had stopped raining! Now all of this happened in a fraction of a second!

great story!... hmm  hate to say this but Ive had quite a few crashes, but..... none were my fault!!!!!!!!!  (seriously!!!)1 I got hit by a drunk driver... who I found out the cops  had just had him in a bar fight but didn't arrest him...lucky me... ( I have more  great stories involving Murphy's law ).lol..but the funniest crash story I ever had   was when I wasn't driving  ... I was the passenger... it was   long ago  and far away.... OK.. maybe it wasn't that far away...lol... anyway I was on a date with this guy I had been seeing...  and  yes we were young and stupid(funny how those words often go together)so   there was some drinking involved with the driving... and we ended up in a ditch.... so when the cops got there   ,he told them he had swerved to miss a deer... of course they took us to the police station, and gave him a breathalyzer test..  in the meantime I'm chatting with the cops, and told them  that  I intended to go into law enforcement... so  they allowed me to help  book him... lol...needless to say we never dated again.... but hey I did go to college , majored in  criminal justice and went into law enforcement... think I should send him a thank you card ????lol...

Chatting up some girls (who were also on bikes) I absent-mindedly let go the brakes and rolled backwards down a slope and over the edge of a low cliff. Me and the bike fell 15 feet into the surf below. No injuries, but deep embarrassment and a lot of sniggering at school on Monday.\n\nI need lessons from the Governor - who is he?

Use Yahoo! search to look for land speed records.  You'll find that Andy Green set the ultimate land speed record on the Black Rock desert in Nevada of 763.035 MPH on October 15th, 1997

I did the RC Experience in Charlotte a few years ago.  I really enjoyed it but thought it was a bit over priced for what I actually got.  They said that we would get 8 laps but I only got 5.  There was a short class before that explained how you follow the pace car and what the flags mean.  They also give you a high speed trip around the track in a van prior to your driving so that you'll understand the line to drive and to watch for the paint markings on the pavement.  There was also a lot of sitting around waiting, as in I was there over 4 hours and my drive lasted about 5 minutes.  I'm glad I did it as being a huge NASCAR fan I have a whole new appreciation about what it feels like to drive a stock car.  All in all it was a great experience but was a little put off by the cost.  As far as the speed, the max is 145 (I think) I personally went about 130.  However, to actually drive a stock car on a real track was fun.  (By the way, you drive 100 miles per hour, all the time?  Not smart)

I was in the Air Force driving 1000 miles to go home for a month leave. While I was driving in the high mountains around Reno, I fell asleep. I was traveling about 85 mph. My truck veered off the highway. As soon as I felt the truck leave the highway, I woke up and found I was heading downward on the gravel part of the side of the highway. My truck seemed to be driving itself I was in shock. The steering wheel was moving under my hands. I can't describe it any better than this. As the truck moved back up to the highway, I pulled over and tried to calm down. It was a really frightening moment. What was even more frightening was just 1/4 mile more and the side of the highway no longer had gravel. There were large boulders. I still get chills thinking about it.\n\nTill the day I die, I know I was not the one driving my truck at that moment.\n\nbtw - I have had several other experiences where the circumstances involved other than human interaction. I guess I am just one of the few to have been fortunate enough to experience it.

while driving my motorcylcle along mississippi river north of st louis at about 60 mph, i hit a dragonfly.  i splattered all over my glasses after it hit my cheek, and it stung quite a bit.  i had to stop  as i was pulling my bike off to the shoulder, all i could smell was the scent of dead fish and bugs.  it was from the bug guts.  \n\nhitting a bird at 180 mph would probably have broken a jaw bone.
