If I ever compete in a burnout contest, I'm going to use old, worn out street tires... Slicks are just too expensive to do long burnouts.. I have no traction problems, so why do excessive burnouts...

It was latched down, but the force of the heavy acceleration and wind getting between the top and the windshield moulding was able to force the latches open... The car has never been that fast.. Ran 11.05 on that pass with the roof flying off... Too bad that I don't have a video of that pass.. The fastest pass on video is the 11.20 pass which I did in 15 degree warmer and much more humid weather than when I ran 11.05..
