Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q.  Why do you jump over cars?

A.  A very cute little boy asked me that in a store one day and I didn't know how to answer him.  It was the only question anyone has asked that has stumped me.  Best answer I can come up with now is "Because dirt by itself is too boring.  And it's easy to measure how far a truck jumps in terms of cars."


Q.  Have you ever rolled Blown Thunder over?
A.  Yes, a couple of times. The fans loved it, but my heart and wallet didn't.


Q. How fast can Blown Thunder go?
A.  That's a difficult question, it all depends on how you adjust your gearing. We generally run short distance so the gearing is set very low.  There's no speedometer in the truck, but I estimate between 50 and 60 miles per hour.


Q.  How many cars can Blown Thunder jump over?
A.  Most arenas are set up with 4 or 5 cars lined up side by side, we don't have trouble clearing those. We have cleared 8 at one time.  I'm sure she can jump farther.
