The Arizona Highway Patrol were mystified when they came upon a pile of smoldering wreckage embedded in the side of a cliff rising above the road at the apex of a curve. The metal debris resembled th

You might want to look around for some more info on this urban legend. This page was interesting: http://www.cardhouse.com/rocketcar/ROCKIT.HTML Although it could easily be bogus too. :) One thing I

I suspect this JATO story is an urban legend as well. However, regarding the melted brakes, it isn't the weight of the car that matters but the momentum. Momentum goes up with the square of the veloc

I was trying to make two kind of related points, but in retrospect I didn't make them very clearly: 1) If a car can stop at almost 1g, and it weighs ~3500lbs, then the brakes & tires are capable of
