As many of you are aware, Don Prudhomme announced his retirement from NHRA racing after over 40 years of racing. He got his start in California as a 19 year old body and paint man, hanging around guys like Roland Leong and Wally Parks. Don has been an icon in NHRA, starting out in dragsters, and then winning 4 Funny car world championships. It won't be the same without him participating.

Yep, all it needs is a 'chute! But then, like you said, it'd have to be repacked after each run!
