There is an opening above the head above the shoulder. It will be removed for the race. I imagine it will hit 30-40mph because there are three 90 degree turns to keep the speed down.

Here's a video of part of the run. We had a blast even though we didn't win. Red Bull did however call us asking if they could keep it for a few weeks to display so we let them take it.

Here is the last video. This one shows the build and the race. I'm the shorter bald one wearing the dark blue shirt doing the welding.
