The cars were flying 40 feet with a 5 or 10 foot safe landing area.

Ramana nailed the practice jump perfectly and went for one last round. He thinks that he was only about a few feet off his mark and the car bounced off the crest of the table top and onto it's nose. After dragging on the nose for a few feet, the nose of the car caught on the ground and it flipped end over end. It was absolutely surreal. We stood there, cameras rolling incredulous to what just happened. The car was completely bashed and all for a practice jump. We'll post pictures soon. I know that your car suffered a similar fate, without the rollover. Everyone keep posted. We have a car that looks like it was run over by a steam roller in the driveway of a rental house. We have a few days to make it drive again because there is no way that this team will fall short of it's goals here in CA. Please show your support for Ramana and Mark, Lan Evo 7, car #74

Why would that tear the car up? It looks like a normal sunday cruise. Just need to find a way to keep that nose up if its possible.

Represent guys!

I love the X Games and TiVo!
