His stunt: Blasting over both the Snake River Canyon and the St. wheel counterpart. He's been stunt driving for 23 years and holds the world record for jumping cars over other vehicles. His greatest feat, leaping over 18 parked cars a distance of 182 Lawrence Seaway He's made over 600 jumps, he said, and broken 12 bones. Then there's the rocket car, which Carter showed off in Salt Lake City, where he is seeking permission from the Bureau of Land Management to make test runs on the Utah's famed Bonneville Salt Flats, hopefully in powered Lincoln Continental".

Pay day, he said, will be an elaborate 4,000-foo- t flight over the St. Lawrence from Morrisburg, Ont., to Ogden Island, N.Y. on Labor Day twice the distance of the Snake River feat. He hopes to sell 48,000 tickets for $15 each.

"I think we can make $42 million over five years," he confidently added. "A stunt driver doesn't get any pension when he retires. My pay day will come at St. Lawrence." The story may sound hard to believe, but it gets better as the details are added. Carter, now a resident of Fort Lauderdale, said he's Knievel's four quarter-mile-lon- "We need a lot of room," he said. "It will do 270 miles in 4.5 seconds."
