Evel Knievel, America's favorite daredevil strikes again.
In Centralia, Washington at the Lewis County Fairgrounds, Evel jumps 13 cars, eleven Dodge Coronets, one Dodge Monaco and a Dodge Polaris. From his Triumph T120 firing up on the first kick to the near perfect landing, the jump is a complete success. The Centralia jump marks seven successful attempts in a row dating back to June 19, 1966, in Missoula, Montana. Where attempting to jump twelve cars and a van, Evel's rear wheel catches the van's door frame resulting in a severely broken arm and several broken ribs.
Two and a half weeks later in Graham, Washington, at the Graham Speedway, the lucky streak comes to an abrupt halt in an attempt to jump sixteen VW Bugs and a panel delivery truck. If he had only stopped at the Bugs.
