Default Re: Ford Proving Grounds... 1928

That photo looks like an artist's rendition. Notice how the entrance ramp has a nice low slope of about 15 degrees, and then it suddenly changes to 45. I think if you actually hit that 45-degree section at any speed, you'd wreck the whole structure. And would you get that much lift from the front wheels after all the inertia was absorbed by the impact?
