We all had
a super
time.


Fighter pilot and race car driver Charlie Friend suffers a tire failure at the Nevada Open Road Challenge when traveling 186 mph. The car does a quick 360 and crashes into the desert. Charlie was okay, the car not so much. Many thanks to Charlie for letting us share this video.
