Ray,
Although I haven't seen one flip, I did see one come awfully close, high up
on two wheels, passenger side a full 2-3 feet or higher in the air. The driver,
a
very big guy (250+ pounds), was able to put it down with a good correction,
slowly finished his run, sold the car and bought a Miata (not all in the same
day). There was just too much weight on the driver's side, in a right hand turn.
Very scarey.
