The quad, the quad, the quad. It killed everybody, especially you Brits.

Frankly, it was very poorly constructed, with too much lip on take-off launching cars far too high in the air -- 8 - 10 feet up -- and an almost flat landing zone so there was no way to set it down EZ.

If you landed nose first you broke off some part of the front end. Tail first would cost a rear wishbone at least. If a gust of wind blew you left, you'd land on the vertical plywood forming the side of the jump. To the right, you landed on the concrete block retaining wall.

Most peeps DNFed several qualifiers, and the result was really good drivers scattered throughout the lower mains.

But you really must learn to fly...
