I contacted the author of the program and asked about the track ending. His answer follows. So I had a car make it all the way to the end of Hubski Falls, and then over the edge of the world. I don't have a picture of what that car looked like, but the batch it came from had a heavy front wheel, light back wheel, both large, skinny body with a club like head around the front axle. (See my picture and data in another comment).

Glad you're having fun with the cars!

Yeah, the track ends somewhere between 220 and 300 meters, it's actually 300 1-meter long blocks, and due to all the crazy winding towards the end, it ends up shorter than 300 straight meters.

After that, it's a free fall to death for the victorious car. :)

Thanks for the link! I love seeing where people are coming from!
