New world record in Monroe
MONROE — Local stunt daredevil Mr. Dizzy outdid himself July 4, creating a new world record at Evergreen Speedway for jumping a limousine off a ramp.
The Lincoln Town Car stretched limo flew nearly 165
feet — about 60 feet beyond the official record of 103 feet, according to the speedway.
Mr. Dizzy is Mike Buse of Monroe. His day job is being the owner of Genesis Heating Cooling and Refrigeration.
The Guinness World Records’s official longest limo jump was 103 feet, done in 2002. But Buse already beat that in 2008 with a jump of 107.6 feet for a show on TV and more recently with a limo jump of 137 feet.
