Close call
Driver of So-Cal HHR walks away from flip at Bonneville

GM engineer and driver Jim Minneker is in good condition after rolling the Chevy So-Cal HHR during qualifying at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Minneker was beating the previous record of 226.835 mph in the G Class/Blown Fuel Competition Coupe class with a qualifying run of 246.686 mph when the HHR lost traction and rolled over after parachute deployment. The vehicle’s terminal speed at the time was 249.793 mph. Minneker walked away with nothing more than a stiff neck.

Check out this thread HERE (http://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3978). It's complete with pictures that were available of this horrific crash. This guy is indeed a very lucky man. :thumb:

How can I get a Photo of this vehicle before the accident and roll over.
It must of been a very pretty HHR super car.

Never mind I see it now, but I would like to get a Photo so I may Frame it for my Office.

"Minneker walked away with nothing more than a stiff neck."

I would get stiff too if I was doing 249 mph... ;)

I would save it to my computer and then upload it to somewhere like Walmart.com, Walgreens.com or somewhere online that offers enlargments tht is local and you should be able to pick it up from them at your local store. Have never done that, but I've heard it works great. :thumb:
