Your car has a tow hook in front. Surely you could rig it to the slingshot.

The tow hook would work for the launch going from 0 to 120 knots in under 6 seconds no matter what the weight of the object being thrown its the hold back and or pull back to build up the pressure that has me worried. Its not the flight that would concern me its the landing....

Speaking of Vegas

Any single/solo motorers willing to take a "co-pilot" on a run or two? My "co-pilot" has a girlfriend flying in from Texas to experience the whole AMVIV scene and was hoping to bum a ride. PM me or we can hook up in Vegas.

Willum, AMVIV attendees without their MINIs have never had much trouble picking up rides for the runs in past years. Even guys!

That would be the one. Many martini's were consumed there, last year. That's why I couldn't get the exact name pulled from the "lone" brain cell.
