My favorite use of duct tape was back in 1979 or 1980 when it was known as 260 MPH tape. It got that name when Raymond Beadle used it to increase the size of the rear spoiler on his Blue Max top fuel Mustang flopper. He needed to increase the pressure on the rear slicks for his next round, so literally duct taped a couple of inches of thick rubber along the top of his rear spoiler from side to side.
