Well today i decided to drive my xr80 in the park parking lot cause it was empty...

I was having a blast driving along, still working on getting the carb tuned out good,

Im running along hitting some hi speed, it was starting to get dark s I couldnt see the car that well, then I noticed by the time it was too late that the car had flipped upside down and slid bout 100 feet.... it didnt damage anything put a few scratches on the body, and the head.... but other than that fine,

The lot is fresh new blacktop, not many pebbles at all... IT was not the most even surface though, cause as I was driving along a few spots, The front of the body would scrub, I believe due to not trimming enough off the front bottom....

Is this what caused it because it was bouncing against the pavment and the body caused the front to pop up and then the air speed at the time helped it flip on over?

This has happened to the people I race with but never happened to me yet. They hit a small rock and that let air get underneath the body which caused the car to go airborn and flip over backwards just like a hydroplane boat. Having the body scrape the ground isn't a big deal and deffinatly wont cause the car to flip.
