Probably should have raced a biplane, or a hot air balloon, instead...

Im going to give this guy a pass in the idiot Darwin Award category. He had skills and ballz and had to know the risks.

So you’re saying that the spectators got their money’s worth.

If I’ve read this correctly an unrelated explosion occurred ahead of his course and he drove through it (unavoidable at 300 mph I suppose) caught fire and then the truck blew up.

What EXACTLY did he ‘run into’?
To: Wilderness Conservative
How awful! We’ve seen this outfit at airshows. Hard to imagine.

The Truck didn’t “Explode”.
It looks like a typical drag racing end-swap rollover crash.
The Explosion was a pyrotechnic that had nothing to do with the crash.

The back end of the truck was coming around whan he pulled the shoots, but that wasn’t enough to stop the spin.
It spun off the runway and rolled multiple times.
250 mph roll overs in a vehicle that large are hard to survive.

Is the size of the vehicle really the decisive factor when one rolls at 250 mph?

You bet, it appears to be an explosion way in front of the truck..Might have been something ejected forward off the truck but it didn’t look like it.
