Eve of Destruction! By Mae Schultz

August 27, 2005; Marshfield, WI: - Madness and mayhem overtook the speedway for a night of destruction. The Eve of Destruction sponsored by Martinovich Trucking, WDEZ 101.9 and WIFC 95.5. The bus racers had time trials with “Hot Rod” Rodney Feltz capturing fast time.

“Hot Rod” Rodney then attempted his jump a Winnebago towing a boat, over a full size limousine, lengthwise, with six boats lined up after the limo. Rodney made two passes before his attempt. When he made the final pass, he went up over the ramp, cleared the limo and most of the boats, landing on all four wheels.
