I read about a guy who did put the materials on top of a small car and drove around his town back on the east coast to make sure it would handle the wind. He sandwhiched it in-between plywood. After being convinced it would make it he headed of the BRC. On the way, a semi was approaching on a two-way highway and it ripped the materials righted off the top of his car that, according to him, was strapped on really tight. He was thankful he did not hurt anyone and then re-strapped them to his car with re-inforced straps by running them through his windows andtying them off under his roof. Just make darn sure you strap it down really well...
