Oh snap! (literally)

While that's an awesome image that was captured, I'm sure you wish it never happened. Hopefully those inside walked away unharmed but I know y'all like to go pretty quickly if possible so I'm sure there was some serious forces involved during the moments that image was captured.

Yeah, I remember that. If you had chosen to go thru that wall instead, It's about 2,000 ft of air before you hit anything solid.

As I recall, you had to part out another new car and fly in suspension parts on a private jet from California to get this one repaired in time for the finals.

the car crashed in practice before the actual hill climb race (pic above). They rebuilt it later on as a center seat car called "phoenix". They drove a plaid this year at the PPIHC.

EEK! Is it still drivable? How does the driver's back feel?
He was ok. The car was heavily damaged and written off, but we recently took the shell, and refitted a new sectional frame, and made it into a dedicated race car, soon to hit the raceways near us, and hopefully tracks all over the country and maybe even abroad.

^ Campsite at Picacho Peak State Park, near Tucson AZ. Lovely campground, scenic park, and terrific trails. That structure to the left is a shade canopy for the picnic table. As with most state parks nowadays, most campsites have RV pedestals to plug your car in overnight. 14-50 and TT-30 adapters for the MC are helpful when Tesla camping, something I've done dozens of times.
