^ Yeah, you can really see it from the side view of the car. I'm not sure what you could do to stop it other than say taping it shut from the outside.

Man that thing was not happy and out of shape the whole pass. Absolutely nutty! Some aero work and a visit to a wind tunnel will pay back huge dividends. And make it a bunch safer.

Yeah that is caused by the 30 mph hear wind. The car is usually on a string. Oh and to the post above that is first gear. 3rd gear will get me to right at 200 mph
