The Well of Death is a carnival sideshow in India. It features a silo or barrel-shaped wooden cylinder, about 20 to 36 feet in diameter, in which motorcyclists and drivers of miniature cars travel along the vertical wall and perform stunts held in place by centripetal force.
At the Industrial exhibition in Hyderabad, a team of daredevils roll at a blistering speed in this ‘Well of Death’. At the crescendo, there were 4 cars and 5 motorcycles.
In 1910 Buick made a racing car with a 4-cylinder 622-cubic-inch (10.2-liter) engine. That’s more than the Viper or any other road car that’s mass-produced today. Still, the Buick Bug only had about 50 hp.
Get your road goggles on! Buick built only two 4-cylinder, 622-cubic-inch 60 Specials, and Jeremy Dimick of Flint’s Sloan Museum brought one down to the garage for a test drive!

Anyway, in this segment, they drive a military tank over a Toyota Prius and completely destroy the thing. This would definitely be a blast!
