[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 288465, member: 2189"] I saw the new car on NHRA's website and I do like the colors. Anyone notice the side body panels behind the engine over the clutch can area? They appear to me to go up much higher than in years pass as to almost cover that area. Years past the rear body panels upper maintained the same line as the panel under the zoomies but the 08' version seems to raise that to now maintain a line with the lower mounting of the blower or along the intake. Was this a bit of artist license or is Vandy and Dupuy playing around with streamliner effects? I know there are some teams looking at Garlit's old Mono car and working with NHRA to make a configuration that tech would except so are we back to see some efforts in streamling again? I'm a hardcore Garlits fan just because of his innovative spirit and I'd love nothing more than to see the mono-car come back. Testing at Vegas and Phoenix in a few weeks and I'm sure a number of drag sites (NHRA, DragRace Central, etc.) will have good photos. Pomono is less than a month away and if I'm right exactly 4 weeks from today is 1st round qualifying. Man the off season went by fast! Any of you gearheads see where Torco Racing Fuel is sidelining all race sponsorships for 2008' because of health concerns of Evan Knoll? This will hurt a number of teams across the Pro ranks. All Racers to the Staging Lanes. Last call, all racers to the staging lanes! :wink2: [/QUOTE]
