Black cap and the dash panel where the passenger air bag would be. Ours flies off on violent wheelies too.

I race at alot of the outlaw races around my area!!! Its the hottest thing goin in this area,but i will say this alot of the wrecks around here are bad driving and horrible track prep and\or not respecting the vehicle!!! You see guys gettong out of shape and romping the throttle with those little tires!! I saw a limited street car wreck his car 3 times in a month and all cases were bad driving and even he admitted it!! My old man always taught me from day 1 if it gets loose or out of shape get out of it....its not worth wrecking,hurting yourself or others!!! I wish the outlaw racers thought the same way!!!!

Outlaw racers have a different mentality for sure....driver error/stupidity shows up in all levels of racing. My point is, tire size is not the major concern here. I have voiced my opinion on several occasions to a fellow racer who was in the lane next to me about how they have handled certain situations concerning their car during a run. I learn something every pass in my car... I wish others would do the same.

Good advice Kid! Once you're out of shape it's crazy to keep going! Just not worth it in so many ways. Jim

I wish more people would follow this logic. I couldn't even begin to count how many times I've gotten out of the throttle during a pass...... just this year

I would thing things could go wrong in a hurry in your car. Pretty quick and pretty short.

I may be wrong but wasn't that a two-step button he hits on the steering wheel? I thought per NHRA all two-step buttons had to be on the brake pedal?
