All Mine Were Amish

Post by Rope-Pusher »

I'm going to assume this is a manual, right?

Giant Hot wheels Car Jump at Pre-race Show for Indy 500.

"The stunt is called the “Hot Wheels Fearless at the 500,” and it involves sending a 3,500-pound, 850-hp truck down a nine-story ramp, suspended by what's designed to look like a door in a child's bedroom. The stunt driver will be masked to protect his identity.

The event will take place at 10:50 a.m. Eastern, which is about an hour before the start of the 100th-anniversary race.

The jump in the turn-four infield is planned for 302 feet. The stunt track itself will be 16 feet wide, and a TV special on the jump will air after the race on ABC."
