See the increasing rate of pitch upward as the car caught air? Wow! at that point he needed an elevator to get the nose down. Very hard momentary braking would have retarded the spinning wheels and rotated the car back to level. It needed to be very brief so as not to upset the car on landing. Good job getting it back.

Yeah He didnt let off, you can hear the car in high revs! Im with Melinkobq on this one, you dont have the same control in air in a 2500 lb car that you do on a dirt bike. They are so lucky they hit that straight on, and the tail dragged. Very impressive!

Twincam - Not a whole lot of driver skill in aerodynamics. The car lifted from drag. While 'easing off' would help some, there's a 'mass'ive difference between motocross and autocross. A dirtbike weighs <200lbs, a car would be lucky to be 2000lbs. The rotating inertia of the drivetrain has little effect on a car in retrospect. He clearly checked his drawers - closed his eyes and prayed for a good landing. His skill didn't bring him back to all 4, the tail-end dragging on the ground did.
