Re: car tried to fly

Don't underestimate the effects of the wind.

About 12 years ago at the Mt. Washington hillclimb, one of the 'new' drivers experienced a 50 mph side wind with a slight updraft during his first practice run. He was doing about 65 mph at the time. His car went up onto two wheels, and almost went over the edge.

He parked the car, and left for home that day without taking another run.
