2011 Shockwave Jet Truck. On The Inside, Capitol Air Show. Sac. CA. 376 MPH. Tweaker Vision 4
Переглядів 2,749,229
12 років томуDriving the Shockwave Jet Truck. I took this at the Capitol Air Show in Sacramento CA 9-11-11.
Here is what it is like driving the fastest Jet Truck in the world, Shockwave.
There are 5 levers he will be using. Starting from the right.
The red handle is for directing the thrust up wards. This is done to not melt the track when the fire show is put on. Next are the throttles for the 3 jet engines. The long one with the knob is the chute and engine shut down. The one closest to the driver Kent, is for the fire show. He dumps raw diesel into the after burner. When you see him put his right hand up to the roof he is adjusting the fire that comes out of the exhaust stacks. This is one hole show. It is from the time they stopped at the end of the runway all the way through the full power run. When you see Kent adjust his gloves he is ready for the 300MPH run. Don't blink or you might miss it.
Enjoy
Thank you Kent and Bob for allowing me to put in the camera.
PS : Everyone loves your Chalupa.

Rest in peace, Chris Darnell. You were one hell of a performer. The video was nicely done. I would’ve expected the camera to move a little more, because the only way I knew it was over was when he popped the chute and killed the engine.

Always told my dad your my shockwave truck driver! I made little labels for all my toy trucks as a kid that said shockwave. My dream is to drive a jet truck with my dad. Its my dream ): thank you chris darnell for being my favorite truck ever. You have no idea how much i loved this truck as a kid

Thanks so much oldducatim900, for both the video and especially for explaining all the goings on in the race car, er, truck. About the only thing I could figure from the video on my own was the 3 levers knowing he has 3 turbines, but I was scratching my head wondering what the big red lever was (I watched the video before reading your description and comments). And yeah I was wondering about the extra belt on his chest, I was theorizing that it was because he pops some very big chutes at some very big speeds and the belt helped to alleviate a little discomfort of the big negative G's, but I see now that it was due to a crash he had, I guess he got a bit loose in the wreck (you can never have your belts too tight!). Thanks again, that was awesome.

@curtispetit986 7 років тому
actually there's only the brake pedal in the truck. the levers in the truck are for throttles to the engines, the red one directs the thrust off the runway, and the one he plays with is for the afterburners, the one with the black ball on it deploys the parachutes and shuts the engines down.

@CCWSig Рік тому
Up is go. The afterburner are actuated on the up stroke. His handles are designed so when he pulls the large black one at the end of the run, it cuts the fuel to the engines, the afterburner and deploys the chutes in one motion.

@CrazyMarty 11 років тому
During the show as he runs up and down the track he is actually checking how much the cross wind will push the truck across the run way. So when he does his 3776 MPH run the truck will actually go from one side of the track to the other. The 2 extra chest bets he uses were installed after the truck had a blow out and he crashed the truck.

@karlrobinson4887 Рік тому
The badd-assery in the sequence starting at 13:28 is off the charts. How to drive the Shockwave: 1. Push all three throttles to full power. 2. Check RPM's and temps. 3. Thumbs up. 4. Open afterburner fuel valve. 5. Visor down cuz $hit$ about to get real. 6. Release Brakes. 7. Ignite afterburner fuel with thumb switch on wheel. 8. Ride that dragon all the way down the strip with one hand on the wheel like a BOSS.

That was really cool!!! I saw my first Jet Truck in Vidalia, GA a long time ago and it was fun to see. I always wanted to know how it operates inside and this video was a perfect demonstration. Thank you!!
@CrazyMarty 11 років тому
The large red lever controls a flap on the rear of the truck. When it's pulled back it directs the jet blast and fire slightly up away from the track. When pushed it's to put more down force on the nose of the truck. The small red lever close to him that he pulls on through out the show is for dumping diesel into the after burner and into a ring of spray nozzles to make even more fire. This is the only video of what Kent does in the truck during a hole show. I was lucky to get the video
