"We had an incident today that was connected to the extraordinary wind. An A
Modifed winged beast got up on 2 wheels at high speed on the South Course
and the wind grabbed it's huge wing. Only instead of providing downforce, as
these wings are designed to do, it provided lift and the car went right
over. The driver and car were fine -- he removed the wing and went right
back out to finish his runs for the day. Unfortunately, the wing, which was
made of metal, was badly crushed.

Does anyone know any other details on this?
