What is the coolest car related stunt you’ve ever seen? Using the appropriate AMC Javelin, American Thrill Shows came up with the idea to perform a corkscrew style ramp to ramp jump they called the Astro Sprial Jump. So big was the hype around this traveling show and the Spiral jump specifically, they sold out the Houston Astro Dome! By November 1971, it was time to risk the Javelin in an unmanned test. It was a success. After two more unmanned shots, on December 22, Chick Galiano, a 34-year-old stunt driver, guided the Javelin through a nearly perfect test. In January 1972, after two more manned jumps, the ramps were shipped to Houston, where the first public performance of the stunt would take place in the Astrodome in front of a huge crowd.
