Semi-Truck Jumps 166 Feet Breaking World Record

Last Friday at Evel Knievel Days in Butte, Montana (a weekend-long event paying tribute to legendary stuntman Evel Knievel), Gregg Godfrey broke the world record for longest semi-truck jump when his rig traveled 166 feet in the air from ramp to ramp (he originally planned to only go 140 feet).
