What type of event was this at and what did they hit that caused them to roll, speed?

Re: T-tops off while competing?

My friends t-top 4th gen ran for one season, and now the passenger side t-top does not fit right. I have been at a couple auto-x sites and all the noise the rear glass makes, I sometimes worry about the big old piece. Speaking of junk yards, I was there the other day and there was a 3rd gen there that still had the price on the windshield. I guess that test drive was interesting!!

My car has done a lot of autocross and DE events (75 days total) and the tops fit great, and it is basically rattle free. I did have SFC's welded on early in the cars life.

TWS with the tops off - ~140 on the front straight

SFC's are supposed to help a bunch. I will be welding mine in this weekend and testing them out next weekend. Are those pics from that airport west of Fort Worth? Looks good!
