I have been here waiting to be sure there were no photos that would appear on my senior moment. Yes, it happened to me at Run and Gun. I was talking to a gentleman about the RF GT as I was lowering the rear clip. As I did this the announcer made a last call to the track and I got in a hurry and excused myself from the gentleman then quickly slid my helmet on and off I went without clasping the rear clip. I went around that track twice and nothing happened because I was being held up by a guy in front who was super slow and you could only pass on the straight. On the third lap I got my chance and went for it. As I was halfway throught the straight, approaching 110 MPH, I get this tremendous tug on my safety belts and I hear this awfull grinding noise. The GT had slowed to abot 70 MPH and I look out the rearview mirror and see this reflective shield material and thats when it registered. Talk about embarassing! Man, in less than 3 seconds I was 3/10ths from loading my shorts, confusion, and embarassment. I will garantee that if it happens to you once you won't let it happen again.I can't sit in the darn car now without thinking about it.
I was lucky too as the damage was minor. It only scraped up the rear spoiler and bent the clip hinges enough that we removed and restraightened them.
I really like MikeD's and Bill's way the best. I for sure will have a similar system on mine soon.
