Topic: Anyone get a photos or video of the Volvo's aerobatics at CMP?

Anyone get a picture or video of the amazing flying Volvo's aerobatics at CMP this weekend?  Heard there was GoPro video of it.  Is it on YouTube yet?

Volvo's ad campaign in the '70s should have been "Volvo 240, built like a tank".

The 188 car got video of the impact but the rolling was out of frame

FYI my GoPro was in the car at the time of the flip but didn't get a recording. I'm still working it out but I think the memory card I had is/was bad or the GoPro itself has gone bad. I do have the telemetry of the lap though recorded. It was going ~90mph around the kink at the time it was hit.

Additional FYI - the driver is fine, the volvo was fine (or at least fine enough after some quick patches and vacuuming the dirt out to take some victory laps around the paddock) but understandably DQ'ed with Lemons rules for rollovers.

Shoutout again to Matt with the #911 IOE winning team that let me jump in their buick for two sessions overnight so I could get some track time in.

Standup teams all around this time out!

Hey Guys,  it's Rob from Schumacher, the orange 188 car.  First, I want to say again how sorry I am that we exchanged paint.  A car came down on our driver at the apex of the kink, she was on the inside making a pass, and she got on the binders hard and the car stepped out. 

Second, I do kind of have video of the roll.  It's from our rear view mirror and I've done my best to clean it up.
