That's gotta be more exciting than a rollercoaster! *promote

question: why do they have a drop in ramp for a vehicle that has an engine ? Could the car not just, er, accelerate to 109mph and jump ?

I guess it could, but if this is sponsored by hot wheels, then it wouldn't look like a hot wheels track would it?

seems like it would be much safer (in this scenario) to have computer controlled acceleration. You know everything about the track so it's a relatively easy physics and control problem.

It would be even safer if there was no driver at all; also, they could also make the gap much smaller so they don't need to be going so fast. Maybe no engine, and scale the car down to an inch or so big. It would be pretty safe, then.

Or, actually, maybe just not do the jump at all. That would be very, very safe.

Adding video to channels (Eia) - requested by messenger.

So is there a blue driver and green driver as well? I want the feature that puts the air filter in the middle of my dashboard. Was his face pixel-ed out? And who are the mysterious suits observing this? It is almost like those suits are playing hotwheels with peoples lives. =)

Science made possible by sweet ass jumps off of sweet ass ramps. Or rumps. Jamps off of rumps. Boobs.
