Did a RTO in a CRJ once during a ferry flight from DAY to CLT. Had water in the pitot system (found out later) and caused my airspeed to go from 90 to 0 in less then a sec which also caused the left side only spoilers to deploy thinking we had aborted. The other side came up as I slammed the PW backs to idle. Was kind of neat in a wild ride way.

Had one in MHT, I was the FO and PF winds were report by tower as we were taking the runway as 180@18ish and gusting(straight down runway 17), during the T/O roll at about 100 to 110kias, it felt like someone kicked the airplane in the right side, displacing it a couple feet left of the centerline. About 2 seconds later the CA called and excuted the abort(FO's don't do aborts at this airline). Apparently the Airspeed had stopped accelerating at 110kias for 2 to 3 seconds. As we taxied clear of the runway, the tower then reported winds of 350@20 and gusting (straight tailwind).
We were full of paxs and had to return to the gate for the highspeed abort inspection.
