The Shockwave Jet Truck at Thunder Jam 2011 at Thunder Valley Raceway, Oklahoma

(Motion stabilized here: • Stabilized Copy of The... ) This is the early evening show put on by the Shockwave Jet Truck at Thunder Jam, Thunder Valley Oklahoma. Two things to watch for in this video besides the truck, the windows in the building behind the Shockwave and, the crowd of people between the building and the track.

I've been following this guy ever since I was 7 or 8. He's a legend in my mind, especially his dad Les Shockley. I'm so bummed though that he hasn't been at the airshow I attend for a couple years now, I miss him. I remember his old body frame which was yellow, red, and orange. He's an awesome guy to talk to as well, anyways I wish he'd do more airshows again:(

OMG this is amazing. I love big rigs and this goes above and beyond. I am a big rig lovin' mama!

My uncle owns the shock wave but I've never seen it with that paint job?

[@jamarcooke3812]

Yeah I've seen the shock wave like everyday from I was born but never remember of seen it in that colour

[@DennisTotman]

I liked it better when it was yellow.

[@26Thelaxdude]

@psychoholicmadman it would break me if he ended up having to quit on it:( i love this guy, he's been my hero for years

[@MrRedneck181]

[@luisinigoAli]

OMG SHOCKWAVE JET TRUCK IS COOL than super shockwave 57 chevy truck

[@PsychoholicGenius]

@26Thelaxdude I thought it strange too that he only did the early show and the late show, skipping out on the evening show...money might be getting tight for this beast. While the jet-train cars were selling t-shirts and souvenirs, Shockwaves' area was rather sparse, just the hauler, tow vehicle and Shockwave. Also notice on the sleeper shell : "Sponsor Wanted" :(

[@mechanoid2k]

Keep in mind, this truck isn't rocket powered, its a turbine engine

[@PsychoholicGenius]

Probably a 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with flip-up bubble tops.

[@brendandarnell833]

He also owns flash fire

[@TheHerbOfHappiness]

For a heavy ass truck like that, thats good. Think of it.

[@PsychoholicGenius]

@26Thelaxdude, it would be sad, like loosing Art Arfonse and his Green Monster.

[@Benizle2]

only 8 seconds?

[@heathbauerle2787]

What is Shcokwave's support car model?

[@PsychoholicGenius]

1985 Customized Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

[@peterwilms1395]

Is there also a truck with rocket-engines?

[@PsychoholicGenius]

I don't know about a truck. There were many Hydrogen-peroxide rocket cars once upon a time www.draglist.com/stories/SOD%20Mar%202002/SOD-031402.htm

indian pete jetpower holland

[@mechanoid2k]

nevermind its a jet

[@15Med3]

i saw him wreck out at Westover Air Reserve Base a few years back...but since the jet teams have been cancelled by the military, jet trucks/cars/etc and other acts have been getting raped with calls for bookings
