Yes. But fast cars are still cooler.

yes they are, but the faster u go it seems the harder it is to win in a "bodied" type car.---to me. I never saw a predator headed engine before, didn`t know they were staggered valve heads !

About 25 years ago there was a mustang that raced at my local track. I don't remember if it was a tube frame car or not but it did have some fiberglass parts. Anyway it had a 728 cid engine and would run 5.20s in the 1/8th. He spotted the rails. When ever he ran everyone ran to the fence to watch including the racers. The guy was crazy. Saw him with wheels up for 300 ft. with the nose pointed at the guard rail. He never lifted. Don't know how he kept it off the wall. Everyone remembers that car. Never saw him make it past 3rd round but it didn't matter he was a crowd pleaser.
