Tortoise, the canopy, windshield, CP, CG, etc. is not the point here and had nothing to do with it spinning. None of those caused the car to go right every time he rolled hard into the throttle and the picture of the car on its side and the left tire showing cords validates what I've said. Piles of horsepower, the car's twisting motion, loose salt and George "getting with it" were the causes of that deal. That car by design still had LOTS of records left in it!
My comment of "actual issues" was not referring to Speed Demon. George is one of my heroes in the hot rod "world" and I'm sure he'll be back to kick more butt!
