Amazing footage. Never thought a stray wheel would launch a car like that.

Those Challenge cars bring high dollars in the C4 world. I bet Stu's car could be had a little cheaper!

Did that detached wheel come from the car with the diagonal two-tone painted hood?

Hayner's car is called "FLIPPER" now, in most circles. The car is for sale in Las Vegas, Imperial Palace. Ray Thompson is the owner.

My favorite Challenge car livery.
