Larson will do well, he's a sharp guy. I hope Bob and crew lay it on his a$$ though.

Wish they would have built another classic car...I am no fan of modern cars as drag cars,,,,,even the re-sale value of them is lower....I can see using a corvette for the advantage, but I am not sure a newer caddy is in that realm...

Ive known him since his pink Nova ran 13s.LOL.Hes no where the Dick most of them are on TV.He puts an awful amount of pressure on himself and is a perfectionist sometimes to a fault.He brought the Nova years ago to HPT for a Friday night test and tune.I videod his pass with my phone for him and noticed something come out from under the car at the 1,000 ft mark.Went to the pits and asked him what it was.His reply was"Some dumba$$ left both air filters on the turbos".I said"Its just you here Larry". His reply was " "Like I said".LOL. A group of us pranked him on DragWeek 07 with an Iowa State Trooper.Good times.

That's fine if the audience you're after is grey-haired old farts with canes. Newer body styles will attract a younger crowd and keep the sport alive.

I agree. Have to get (and keep) younger crowd interested, and hopefully they will participate. And if a car is going to hit a wall i'd rather that it NOT be a classic...besides, most classic cars have the disadvantage of being as aerodynamic as a boxcar.

It looks awesome, a little more aerodynamically slippery than old muscle as well.

I saw somewhere where it has an 114" wheel base, I am sure that helped him chose what body to use.

Unfortunately he lost first round this race. However given the low number of runs on the car that is not surprising.

I don't know how he comes across on TV but in person he is a very nice guy.

That body makes a better looking racecar than street car to my eyes, with some wheel & tire stuffed in there.
Looks like serious money got poured into it.
