That was really cool to watch. That's why I always lock mine before I make a pass. I figure that way I know its at least fully latched

Go Pro is stout as hell. This is one of the cooler vids I've seen on tech.

That vid was worth watching! Glad the Track guy added to the high quality of the vid!

I wanted to make fun of the mustang but gotta respect pulling tire on the 1-2 shift!(damn close if it didn't come off the ground!!) After watching it again not sure if you can see the shift but a very light front end and he left you in the dust on your slow *** 10 sec pass!

Its not just that the latch was not fully turned or that it was locked. The hardware on the holes where the rods go into can move. You can have the handle fully into the closed position and the lock set to lock and this happen. Do some research on how to check and adjuster yours if you have a t-top car or this can be you.

That was hilarious, especially at the end! At least you already have a new top and we have more proof the GoPro is nearly indestructible. If your car is that fast, DAYUM that Mustang hauls! You could've said it just looked like it because you had a poor launch or that you gained on him after the top flew off, but you didn't. Good on you for just tellin' it like it is.

I am die hard Chevy. But fast is fast!!! I already knew I didn't stand a chance. Like I said before it is fully built with a big turbo e85. My little stock bottom stock headed ls1 runs great for what it is. But it isn't a bottom 9sec capable!! I would of hoped that he won.
