In the 2nd video, he basically explained why they didn't do that, as it was causing the rear wheels of the truck to lift off the track near the top. Added with the compression of the chassis once he hit bottom, he was able to get all the traction he needed to get up to speed.

SWEET Number 3!!! That was CRAZY! I was a little "disappointed" too, in that it seemed there wasn't enough "flare" when he was in the air, but like was mentioned above, the video explains it; it makes sense. I remember hearing comments about that during a monster truck show on TV. I would've thought that technique was more effective becuase of the huge tires on those, but I guess it works here, too. My respect for Foust has gone up a notch

AWESOME

Did you see the wind whipping the flags??? He's sure got some monster balls to just go for it with that much wind.

Mom never bought me Hot Wheels cars like that when I was a kid.

Rotational Inertia can be fun.

And people think Physics is boring

I wonder if they will put this into one of the American Top Gear shows? I'd like to see Clarkson try that!
