Heh, when mine went, I was racing Ele-Blue95 in his car. I was on MT DR's, and he was on street tires, so he was bout 40 feet back and trying to run me down. The driver's side top skipped down the side of the car, got caught by the DR, went around in the wheelwell twice, then shot straight at Ele-Blue95's windshield. Luckily he dodged it, but the glass put all kinda chips in his paint. Could have been worse though.

One of the tracks in Cinci requires you to duct tape your t-tops to run.

LOL, talk about your 100MPH tape.
Go to the hardware store and tell them you need 145MPH tape.... and Type3 blinker fluid.
