Amen on all of that...

Do they know what caused the wreck yet?

At those speeds it could have been an errant breeze....

These are the first pictures I have seen of the jetcar. Looks like it was pretty bad and a fire was mentioned.

Dang. Thats nasty looking.

I couldnt imagine skimming accross the flat land going that fast. Takes big caoonas to strap in and go. I bet it would be a rush in any sense.

News I read said that her car failed to slow down enough and violently crashed at the end of the track.
Basically, her 'car' was a F-104 Starfighter with wheels attached and wings removed. She didn't have a roll cage.

No roll cage?????? Seriously????? Wow. I understand a fighter jet airframe, but once modified to be a car I wouldn't even consider getting behind the wheel without a safety cage built for the driver.

She hit a piece of FOD in the desert that blew out the front tire which caused the "blunt force trama". No ****. doesn't take a Rocket Scientist!

Sure the tires were made of some type of metal
