Car crashes land speed record Videos

Well congratulation Jessi, but excuse me... why the hell is there even such a thing as a Womens' 4-Wheel Land Speed Record??? It's only natural in physical sports, since woman and man's bodies are simply different. But how is this harder for a woman than for a man?

They could have made that run by remote control, matter of fact thats likely what they did! Jessi Skankinstein was a passenger. oh but she went to Wyotech! so she is the greatest driver/builder/welder of all times.......not

It's called being the driver. Most drivers did not build the cars they set records in. David Donohue, and Jay Leno did not build the Porsche Carrera GT they drove to set the speed record at Talladega Superspeedway. Does that invalidate their achievement?

TV Celeb?!?! Are you smoking pcp? Jesse Combs probably welded the tube chassis on that thing! That girl can probably weld faster than you can type! Go ahead and talk shit while you're sitting at your laptop eating pork rinds, you faggot, but when you were playing videogames Jesse was building 1100hp rock climbers you idiot! She graduated from Wyotech (Wyoming Technical Institute). She took Automotive Technology/Street Rod & Custom Fabrication there, as did I, but I didn't even come close to completing the vast amounts of projects she did. Her teacher was Randy Svalina (one of the best teachers in the country). He was also my teacher and he is one of the most incredible human beings on the planet. And just to clear up some shit, women have a separate class in almost every motorsport to keep a level playing ground. However, they are aloud to compete in the men's class, I'm sure you've watched Danika Patrick loose every Thursday. The point is that, yes women are as capable as men, but none have beat the records set by men...yet. Until they are truly on a level playing ground there will be a women's class and a men's class. All you idiots talking shit on land speed, just hop on a skateboard and ride it down a hill and see if you can handle the speed wobbles at a certain speed, then imagine going 560 mph in a pop can doing the same wobble dance. Can you handle it? I don't think so.

to a point, but if the structural integrity of the carbon fiber is compromised it becomes extremely weak, hence the common name a lot of mountain bikers have for it, "cardboard fiber"

This film is actually from February 1939, not 1938. The car is a modified W154 GP model, competing for the 3-litre class records, not the outright LSR. The cards at the end are misleading, because those 8-litre records had been set in January 1938 during the same sessions in which Rosemeyer was killed.

Why would they make a car who's aerodynamics were so inferior to the blue bird

Watching the video is good but until you are in the middle of nowhere and actually see one of these cars you are clueless as to just how fast these things really were. I saw Craig go swimming in my one and only trip to Wendover. That he lived thru that crash defies rational thinking and I have owned race cars all my life in major series, never would i dream of attempting what those people achieved.
