Dung Beetle?
Regarding that red air cooled monstrosity: What's the point of all that power in a vehicle with zero structural support. If that thing could ever hook up, it'd probably twist in half. Total guess, but I'm going with the blue tubing is vacuum line running to a switch for what looks like the nitrous or something.
Some of that is for boost referencing the power valves.
Mostly, stuff like that is all show and no go. Or rather, go is not the function, looking over the top is. It doesn't NEED to go other than idling off of the trailer and onto the concourse.
In reply to Knurled:
A concourse I freaking hope it fails!

Not with a transaxle, there is no driveshaft, so nothing to twist. It either hook, smoke the tires, wheely, or break.

You said something about a transaxle not having a driveshaft?
Oh you mean in the beetle. Yeah that type of transaxle set up won't twist.

Bad Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM). In a glider you don't get "go arounds" or touch & goes, gravity says you're landing. I'm guessing this guy painted himself into a corner, didn't think about landing soon enough or at all. You should always have two landing sites in mind, one close and one far away. As you move along you drop one and pick up another.
The landing gear is still up.
He needs a little more training.

What are you talking about? He had two landing areas. The side walk or the road. He choose the side walk.

last week we had a plane land on I65 about 30 minutes south of where I live in Indiana it looks like he was much more successful at it then some of these others (also wasnt a glider)
