FYI.

The driver was Brian Gillespie of HASPORT. He built that car and he is a very big part of why engine swaps are so popular in Hondas. Just about every Honda I've seen, has a HASPORT mount kit. I personally have used his kits/mounts on 2 cars.

From what I can gather on the interwebs, Brian was hospitalized but is OK.

looks like they got some air underneath it, and made the front end light, so it lost it.

Glad to hear the driver was OK - that was a hell of a hit when it went over on the roof and started rolling at about a million miles an hour. It looks like the rear end just got light at high speed. I can't imagine the designers of the Insight had stability at 190mph on dirt in mind when they designed the aerodynamics...
