I don't have any external video, just some in car footage of seeing the sky. Dragged the bumper, pushed one fender into the tire slightly. You can hear the tire rubbing on the fender near the end of the track after I shut the engine off.

My oil pan was fine. There was a minor dent at the front of the pan but it didn't even make contact with the oil pickup tube. My belly pan took some scrapes. Lots of black marks on the underside but it already had lots of black marks from other wheelies. I was under power when the front end came down so it didn't come crashing down hard enough to bottom out the front suspension. The headers didn't even take any damage and they sit low.
The oil warning light came on when I came down because the pump shaft disengaged from the distributor. The oil accumulator still provided enough pressure to lube the bearings for a short while. I scuffed some bearings but other than that, no other engine damage. A distributor with an adjustable collar fixed the pump drive issue by allowing the distributor to sit lower.
