The Friday jump also surpassed the 83-foot record set by EMC and the Lotus F1 team in 2014, when they jumped a semi hauling a trailer over a moving Formula One car.
Video of the event was shared on social media.
Godfrey said in an Instagram post he was only aiming for 140 feet when he made the 166-foot jump.
The official Instagram account for Evel Knievel himself praised Godfrey, saying his jump "just brought Evel Knievel Days to a whole new level."
