Youngest Female Monster Truck Driver Builds Her Own Rides

YouTube description:

Rosalee Ramer can jump her Monster Jam truck, Wild Flower, 30 feet in the air. But she says that's not high enough — she wants to be able to jump her freshman dorm, which is twice that height. The Georgia Tech engineering student tours professionally as a driver, but by day she's in the workshop at school, building the monster truck that she says will be a game-changer.

...and the sexy slo-mo zip up of the Nomex suit was for what reason?

Monster trucks are awesome!

I get lowering the centre of gravity, but wouldn't that also affect the clearance?

It depends on how you do it. If you reconfigure the motor/trans so it sits lower overall, but the bottom is the original height, then no. Moving as much weight to the bottom of the frame as possible without lowering the frame itself was always the plan with my race buggy. That said, it does seem like her suspension is Set lower than normal, so she's more prone to high centering, but clearance is usually measured at the axles (except in vehicles with geared hubs that raise the axle above the tub).

Do we really need one?

Nah, I just dislike hypocrites, but i'm probably expecting too much out of monster truck people.
