I'm curious to know how fast they were actually going. I mean, the rednecks do it with tractors, why not do it with straight up semis and full loads??

I've seen Shockwave in person. The diesels are better.

Yes, but when this truck runs at a drag or air show event, you can't stand so close that you could reach out and touch it!
Likewise, I remember doing a show years ago at one of those car-hopping competitions. There were people standing around everywhere on the arena floor (including me) when one of the cars broke and shot an extra-heavy shock spring out sideways. It travelled about 75 feet before gouging a chunk out of a concrete wall! Luckily no one was hit, because I'd hate to think of what it would look like to catch that in the face!

Felipe Massa got hit in his head at Hungaroring 2009. From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Hungarian_Grand_Prix
"As the session ended, the Ferrari of Massa, who was sixth at the time, was involved in a serious accident at turn four.[23] Replays showed debris striking his helmet,[24] when he was travelling at 162 mph.[25] The impact knocked him unconscious, with his car straying towards the grass verge on the inside of turn four. The onboard footage from his car showed that he had his feet on both the accelerator and the brake pedals. The Ferrari decelerated at a force of between 0.6 and 1.4g and impacted with the barrier at 62 mph.[25] After the car imbedded itself in the tyre barrier, the engine could be heard still revving on the limiter, indicating that Massa's foot was still pressing the accelerator and that he was thus unconscious. This accident came just six days after FIA Formula Two Championship driver Henry Surtees was fatally injured after being struck on the head by a wheel bouncing across the circuit at the Brands Hatch track in the United Kingdom. Surtees's engine had also continued to rev against the limiter after his car had come to rest. The debris, a spring from the rear suspension damper (weighing around 800 grams),[26] was suspected of having come from the car of Barrichello, who had reported that something had come loose minutes beforehand.[27] Brawn confirmed the part had indeed come from Barrichello's car, and changed the same part on team-mate Button's car ahead of the race.[26] It was also subjected to an inspection during the third qualifying session, leaving Button with only one run for qualifying, due to the lengthy inspection."
