That video's been floating around for awhile. The thing I don't understand, is why would it be on a site called StupidVideos.com

I remember reading an article from the drivers perspective on that flip. I never saw any vid before. That was crazy.... but I wouldn't go as far as to call it funny.

That website has some pretty crazy vids on it though.

During the tour at the Racing Beat Open House on Sunday after Sevenstock they explained that flip. They flipped the car back over, took it back to the shop, bumped it out, painted it black and the next chance went out and set the new record in that very car which is pretty cool...

A friend of mine sent me to that site for another vid and I happened to browse around and found that one. Pretty sick. I'd hate to be strapped in and skimming along on the roof like that.

From the sound of the motor, it sounds like the driver let off (or had a failure) the gas and the back end just came around. Any details on what happend? That is crazy to just slap it back together and go out again

Not me...
