I believe this car was originally built by John Shaul as it is owned by Danny Jones right now and my brother drives it. It runs in the 10.40 to 10.70 area running B/SA. I would think NHRA would let them at least run a glass scoop since no one make an aluminum one. I have seen 63 and 64 Max Wedge cars dip in the 9's now and then on good tracks on good days. I believe John Shaul has run 9.70's with his 64 AA/SA car. They look so much cooler with the scoop also. Ron
