I watched it. Seems like for all the money they spent they could have splurged a bit a got a longer barge to get stopped on. LOL! At least they could have gotten the boy a good NASCAR with the built up right side. Oh well...

i watched that too.  During the pre-jump ceremonies, he was warming up his tires and showing off in front of the crowd doing donuts in a tiny runway strip and nearly broke loose and hit a reporter interviewing his manager.

That was crazy 269', the car flew nearly a football field.

I was impressed at how well the trajectory matched the landing ramp.  So many times the front of the car starts to drop the moment the car leaves the first ramp.
