Jet Powered Luge

i don't know if any of you knew, but i'm building a jet powered luge, i got a website and blog of what's happening and photos of the build, i'd be stoked if you had a look and chucked your five cents in also if you like :)

thanks craig, i appreciate any help i can get dude :) i got all the major cost covered, ie: motors, board, it's more the little things i have found i'm running out of money for, like wheels, bearings, venue and ambulance rental hehe, i am open to selling naming rights though :)

the motors alone cost me over $32,000, the board without a body $10,000, then there is electronics and fuel which all adds up, but hey! how many people can say they have ticked off a life goal ;) i love every minute of it.

PEACE!
