I’ve never understood why people use that goofy looking hood scoop, it doesn’t fit any style of car...

Yeah, it’s funny alright. I would venture to say it is even uglier than my fat body build!

Or Pro Stock look. Either way it looks like a drag car. I like it.

An acquired taste for sure...…...limited to being a straight line drag racer...…..no road courses for this one.
