Last weekend during a practice lap at Mid-Ohio Raceway the 009 Aston Martin ALMS went airborne off the track and "flew" 142 feet before landing off the track in the dirt. The track was reportedly wet and the unidentified driver lost control under braking. Fortunately his car was the only one on that part of the track at the time and it amazingly remained level during its separation with terra firma.

I was quoting the Kevin Smith "flying car" skit. I thought that's what you were talking about earlier in the thread.

it was about a 10 minute skit, Jeff Anderson and Brian O'Halloran stuck in a traffic jam talking about the Flying Car. I think it aired on Jay Lenno or something about 4 years ago. I don't have a link handy...
IMDB Info on Flying Car HA! I was right. still no linky though...
