Is that the jet car that the lady TV celebrity died in?

No that was Jessy Combs "the fastest women on 4 wheels" in the American Eagle rocket powered car up in Oregon. Her car lost brakes, primary and secondary shoots before running out of lakebed at speed.
This was Rob Freyvogel, as of monday he was still in a coma.
/driver-who-crashed-doing-over-400-mph-at-salt-flats-still-in-coma the artical said the crash happened between 420-450mph theire aim was the fastest piston powered wheel driven running in 496 AA/BFS (AA=502+CI B= Blowen/FORCED INDUCTION F=FUEL other than gas/diesel S= Streamliner)

As I recall it was a black-and-white picture. Once again I'd like to see a 50/50 morph between the Volhahart-Saggitta V2 and (in this case) the Disco Volante.
The red bike says Colani. Not surprised.
