This C8 Corvette flew over 100 feet at Travis Pastrana’s dirt playground — and nearly didn’t make it

In a nail-biting video, this C8 Corvette Stingray flew over 100 feet at Travis Pastrana’s dirt playground, and very stressfully, it nearly didn’t make it.

After winning fellow YouTuber Cleetus McFarland’s Freedom 500 event and receiving a brand new Corvette Z06, Travis Pastrana immediately sold it for a regular old C8 Corvette.

Pastrana decided to jump his basic C8 Corvette 110 feet over a gulf between two ramps in his dirt playground – a stunt that a regular Stingray has never been able to pull off.

After making sure his Stingray was sufficiently star-spangled, it was now up to him to get the correct approach speed down; otherwise, the jump could end in total disaster.

When you win a brand new Corvette Z06 in Cleetus McFarland’s iconic Freedom 500 event, you naturally immediately sell it to buy a Corvette C8.

Travis Pastrana from the Channel 199 YouTube channel did exactly that. He decided that his Z06 wouldn’t fare as well as a regular old Stingray in his next big plan for a Corvette stunt.

In the dirt playground he owns, there are two ramps opposite each other.

They’re on either side of a shallow 110-foot-wide gulf, which he decided would be the perfect stage for a never-before-seen stunt.

He wanted to jump a Corvette Stingray five or six car lengths.

In the spirit of the Freedom 500, the YouTuber hastily spray-painted his C8 with stars and stripes, ready to achieve the momentous feat.
