Here's more information.
It doesn't state it, but it's not uncommon for a "Bombing Display" to be done by these planes, at a target, to see who can get the closest to the target.
Toilet paper rolls or 2 pound bags of flower are normally used for a "bomb".
However, no one has said that this was why the pilot was dropping rolls of toilet paper.

Highly Modified Lake (without STC’s) rendering it into the Experimental Category.
I have seen it at Oshkosh, it was a beautiful plane. I would have loved to seen the performance specs or had a ride in it. Darn shame, prayers up for the pilot, I do not see how they did the drops with the clam shell windshield / doors...
