I don't know. We bought the car in Ozark Mo. several years ago. He told us it was a CA. car. It's a new car now with up dates and a 6.00 cert.

Looks great George! Have you run it through a 1/4 mile yet? Did the canards come from N&P? How do you like the way it feels with the wings?

Thanks! No, we have not ran it on a quarter. We have ran with the Nostalgia Quick Series the last three seasons and all of our races are 1/8 mile and with 8 series races on the 2015 calendar it's unlikely we will. Yes, we bought a wing kit from N & P and built from there. The kit is everything except the skin and end plate. I don't drive the car but from what Doug has told me it didn't make a noticeable difference but we added the wings when we were a small injected setup and only running 135-138 in the 1/8. I decided to add them because of a traction issue in the transition from concrete to asphalt at our local track. The track was repaved last year and problem is no more. Doug has suggested we add a wicker bill to the backside of the wings and that may happen before we start this season.
