Roadster Show to feature Eddie Braun "Evel Spirit" Skycycle

The "Evel Spirit" rocket-powered Skycycle will be a special featured attraction at the O’Reilly Auto Parts Boise Roadster Show presented by Les Schwab Tires. Set for March 10-12, this marks the first public appearance of the ride that helped successfully propel Eddie Braun over Snake River Canyon.

As most remember, it was 42 years ago that the legend of Evel Knievel attempted to jump the canyon, but failed when his chute deployed shortly after take off. He would never make another attempt to avenge that disappointing day in 1974.

On September 16, 2016, Eddie Braun achieved a childhood dream, successfully jumping the awe-inspiring canyon. Remarkably, the launch took him a little over 3 seconds to hit 430 miles per hour. A carefully planned parachute deployment helped land him nearly mile from his original starting point. Roadster Show producer Scott New spent a little time visiting with Eddie on his amazing accomplishment.

Now a 45-year tradition at Expo Idaho, the Roadster Show is aligned with the Summit Show Car Series as a key stop in the ISCA tour. Show hours are: noon-10 pm on Fri., 3/10; 10 am-10 pm on Sat., 3/11; and 10 am-6 pm on Sun., 3/12. Adult admission is $10, kids 6-12 $3 and 5 & under free. Advance tickets are available for purchase at any O’Reilly store.
