"Torque creases" or just a dent?

So how much power, or under what circumstances does it take to crease the rear quarter panels? Im not sure if these are even "torque creases" or if some ******* hit me sometime and i didnt notice it for a while?

It is roughly a 2.5" long vertical crease almost centered above the rear wheel.

I did some launching last weekend and it was hooking really well with the suspension setup and the aired-down et streets. Very little spinning and made me question if the 10bolt would live to see another day...

Is this a torque crease or did someone just hit me and i didnt notice it til now?
I'll get some better pictures of it soon.

At the bottom is the video of a few of my races from last weekend.

thats ironic cause i have the same thing, but more than one. they look absolutely identical and they are on both sides of the car in the same spots you have them.

Both of my buddies' close to stock LT1 T-top cars have wrinkling on the rear quarters. How much power does it take? Who knows. My car with no subframe connectors or anything has rear quarters that are perfectly smooth. Weird.
