He lifted at just about the 330' mark it looks like. Went over the guardrail about 500' out I think. I was figuring a car like that would run about 125 MPH in the 1/8th mile, so I picked 90 MPH as a conservative estimate for when he hit the guardrail. Could have been faster. Scary launch through the air though. Tore that body to shreds like it was fiberglass (but it wasn't). When's the last time you saw a car roll in soft grass and tear the sheetmetal roof off?
