Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.
FUNNY for the whole family!
Always interesting...
those tires were going faster than they do on my truck. LOL
That scientist had lots of guts releasing the tires from that vantage point!
Question:- The spinning tire must be self centering because I am having very hard time understanding how it remains right in the middle of the track all the way through. I mean when I go bowling, half the time ball ends up the gutter
Any physics majors wanting to explain?

I'm guessing they released each type of tire more than once - a LOT more than once!

It's called gyroscopic effect, if you would ride sport bikes you would know how hard it is to actually lean over a bike at more than 100mph

Indeed, that explains why it goes in the straight line. But then it would be *extremely* critical to have the initial angle to be absolutely correct.
I wonder if he were to drop a bowling ball from those slides, would it go in the straight like or head for the sidewalls? Is ball affected similarly by the gyroscopic effect?
