Despite not finishing first at the Hoon Kaboom Texas, Rockstar Energy Dring driver Tanner Foust is happy with the podium finish he got at the latest Global Rallycross Championship event this year.
"Hoon Kaboom was typical Texas style: Big!" said Foust. "The crowd was big, the track was big and the jump was big."
As you can see from this photo, Tanner got big air from the 65-foot leap of faith from a blind takeoff to the sweet-spot. Seven competitors had problems, but Foust holds the world record for the longest four-wheel vehicle jump after a stunt last year that saw him jump 332' ramp-to-ramp for Hot Wheels at the 2011 Indy 500.
"I am happy with the result. The course was tough on cars and drivers, with long straights and a massive gap jump on every lap," said Foust. "Many cars couldn't take that kind of beating."
