HITTING extreme rocky terrain at top speed is all in a day's work for one racer and his ‘rock bouncing’ buggy that knows no limits. Jack Porter, a member of Venom Racing, helped build the Venom Rock Bouncer which is basically a roll cage on wheels powered by a hefty 550 horsepower Chevy V8 engine. Rock bouncing is an extreme form of off-roading where the aim is to traverse the most challenging terrain at the highest speed possible. Jack, of Horn Lake, Mississippi, said: “When we go out rock bouncing we’re looking for the most extreme stuff we can hit. It’s the biggest adrenaline rush you could ever have. Driving this machine is very intense. We have lots of crashes and anything can happen at any minute. But Venom was made to kick-a**.” The impressive vehicle stretches 14ft 2 inches, and weighs in at 3,600 pounds but can still reach a top speed of 110mph. It’s assisted in its extreme off-road exploits by 43-inch tyres and can withstand falls of up to 150 feet - a necessity considering the intensity of rock bouncing as a sport. Jack added: “There’s also an RPM gauge but I don’t really use it. It stays on 8,000 rpm anyway. We’re pushing to the max at all times.”
