    I've bet $100 that a aerobatic pilot can't win... It's on!

    Background on me... I've flown about 6 G's, felt nothing, and wanted more, but the plane couldn't take it. I love crazy stuff... Never ever gotten motion sickness ever in my entire life, and when I did my first skydive I was honestly bored...

    Background on the pilot/plane... You've probably seen the Redbull AirRace by now... this is one of those... 12 G's, -8 G's +.... If I puke or black-out within an hour I loose $100, but honestly, I'm stoked... If I lose, I win because it's still crazy. The flight will cost me $200, but if I hold it together for an hour I get $100... If I don't, i'll lose $100 to get my ass kicked. The plan is to do this the day of the next autoX at Atlanta Motor Speedway. I can't wait... He flies out of the grass strip 10 minutes from AMS.

    What I need is a few people who are going to Points Event #7 to come to the air strip down the street to cheer me on. I need some witnesses when I climb out totally wishing for more...

    So post up if you're going to the next autoX and want to have a good time before things start!

    I wish I could do that. Always wanted to be a pilot but I blackout too easily.

    I got a dollar that says you puke.

    What part about this has to do with alcohol???

    It's a friend of a friend, but I'll ask if he wants to take more people up.

    Got a ride in an F-16 when I was in the USAF... 9 g's at over mach 1... Although I'd have to say the negative g's are more vomit inducing....
