Am I the Last Person in Long Beach to Hear about This?

Where have I been? I just heard today that some extreme individual will drive a car off the Pine Street Pier to celebrate New Year 2010. Actually, the goal is to beat the current automotive non-ground contract record, or rally car distance jumping record, as it's more popularly known, of 171 feet, and the man behind the gas pedal is Travis Pastrana. There will be a barge anchored in Rainbow Harbor for the car to land on, so don't expect any big splashes. The event is part of Red Bull. New Year. No Limits and will take place at 8 pm Long Beach time. Ticket information is hard to come by.
