[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 15695746, member: 6727"] Just saw on the news that two men were killed while using the runway at a small Colorado airport to test drive a 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The Hellcat crashed after rocketing off the runway at the Buena Vista Regional Airport Friday, becoming airborne and sailing across a ravine, the [URL='http://www.denverpost.com/2017/09/10/friends-speed-testing-sports-car-runway-killed/']Denver Post[/URL] reported. The two men had permission to run on the airport runway. Sounds like they were too fast for the runway length they used and lost control when the driver realized they were nearing the end of the runway. After striking the ground the Hellcat “became airborne a second time flipping end over end over a second ravine before coming to rest on its wheels.” Deputies found the wreckage about 650 feet past the runway. The airport boasts on its website having the longest mountain runway in Colorado at 8,300 feet, or more than a mile and a half. Here's a link to the news article on Fox News.
