You'd think by now some engineer would have come up with a "flap" or something to keep those cars down. Good save or good luck with the red car blowing a tire and keeping it against the wall... There was a good post on this subject a few weeks ago on Yellowbullet right after the car left the track killing the driver and injuring the photographer. Maybe down the road we may see something done and I too think it needs addressed. It may take NHRA requiring it to move along faster.
1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph

You'd think those cars could have something in the floor that opens up. that would keep the car from acting like a wing...if you break the airflow under the car it won't lift so much.

I wonder what a Funny car chassis would look like with a pro mod body on it? Isn't the wheel base a tad too long?
