    "There's no room for error."
    Yeah, I spotted Old Smokey in one shot. Scott had one hell of a run - and then suddenly the brake pedal went to the floor. Total brake failure. That's why he took a short flight off the side of the mountain and totally wrecked his awesome truck... 😕
    But his crash did show one thing: the strict safety rules of the Pikes Peak Hillclimb are there for a reason. Strong cages, containment seats and harnesses ensure that the drivers can walk away unscafed from these horrifying crashes... 👍

    Madmike cars is flagship cars, ofcuz have he have more horse power...900hp for sure plug build up infinite torque ....the only weakness wengkel blade, the best one material for rotary blade, metal who cannot or adsorbed or transfer heat.... simple solution but Mazda failed to figureout....just used chrome magnetic and metal roller to fix everything...it gonna be infinite power but not gas consumption....for mordern 3 rotor tubro good for FC, 2 for spark plug combustion and one for turbo exhaust circle mean they still burn extra gas that comeout from turbo exhaust ...you need bycycle flyweel that how it gonna go for the 3rd rotor.... ofcuz I can explain but don't asking me to build it cause I don't work with mechinary ...it act like rotary bondor , the rotor gonna compress 1/9 circle before it spark...mean the 3rd rotor spark plug position is different....my design rotary is not futuristic, but it good for FC and what most important it increase horsepower...many people in university, they parents is rich so they can buy expensive billet cube then CNC it to make a stupid project even we all know it not gonna work.
