RB's LSR car airborne? (VetteKiller's sig)

Anyone know the story on that pic in VetteKiller's sig? It looks to be the Racing Beat LSR car, but is that a photoshop job, or did the car really get airborne? Looks painful...

Its from their salt flats high speed run. 215.749mph then they went into a spin and went airborne, and then i have the other video of (different car but not sure if its Racing Beats also) getting up to 242.002mph going into a spin after deploying chute but never leaving the ground.
Both are FDs

PM or e-mail me if you want the videos.

Yeah I have those vids too. They're on the Option2 magazine vol 33 Rx-7 special. The car is a 3-rotor 3-turbo

only problem with wings designed for downforce is if you put em into the airstream backward, they become a wing for upforce!

The driver got away from the one that flipped ok tho. The car caught fire, he scurried out the window (landed upside down) then he runs back in and activates the halon, and then runs away like crazy

yeah Node's right its the Bonneville Salt Flat run. The picture is photoshopped but only for clairity and adding text. Alot of people on the forum have the video, I do but its on my computer back at college and I won't be there until January 7th.
