That's Neil from our F-Body.Org National Event. That car is now a 396-powered Grand Sport clone that kicks major *** .
Quoted from Neil on our [event] mailing list:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
WOW, I have never seen these pics before. I didn't know they even existed. This would have been a little over two years ago at Nelsons. I knew the car had bounced when it hit the tires and I remember looking at the ground but did not realize it was that high.
The car landed back on the tires so that softened the landing. The damage to the car was not that great considering how high it got.
This was a case of the crappy Nelson's surface (very bumpy) an me going to fast for the track conditions. I was coming off the long back straight, setting up on the outside of the track, and braking for a left turn.
The outside of the track was very bummpy and as I got into the brakes the rear started to bounce hard and the next thing I knew I was in the grass heading for the wall. It was like ice, braking and turning the wheel did nothing at first. As I got closer to the wall it started to bite a little and I started to get the car to rotate. You can see my wheels turned. I would have gone in nose first, not sure what the outcome of that would have been. :-0 This is a case where a gravel trap would have really helped. Maybe at this years event I will give some flying lessons as an instructor ;-)

I got this information from a guy in my car club.
