Atleast it did 1:22.xx at Willow Springs
 
Function over fashion....

I dunno I'd lean towards fashion over something that looks like that. :tongue::wink::biggrin:
 
I know some of the Fab guys that work on Rado's cars personally...those are some of the smartest guys in the drag world...they wouldnt try something that doesnt work for them.

When your running 7's who cares what it looks like? And I bet you will have some others try it as well!
 
I must say, that is utterly gastly. Why not just mount airplane wings upside down off each front fender and take function to an even more extreme?
 
Well front wings DO work...but I see this being banned pretty quick.
 
" In what is quite possibly one of the most significant accomplishments in motorsports history, let alone time attack history, Chris Rado, driver of the World Racing Scion tC ran a blazing lap time of 1:22.623 in his FRONT WHEEL DRIVE vehicle. As of the writing of this press release, RTA officials have been unable to find a faster lap time recorded by a FWD vehicle in the history of Willow Springs Raceway. No doubt, the substantial re-work of the World Racing Scion tC during the offseason, including the massive front wing, put Chris Rado in a position to utilize his skill, piloting the car to a lap time that NOBODY that was physically possible."

Quote from redline time attacks website. From this past weekend.

Is this a drift car? Wouldn't this work the same as it does for World of Outlaw Sprint cars?
 
For Sure is odd looking but it works!
1:22.623 for FWD is pretty sick fast.
Hats off to them.
This was the most recent Redline Time Attack event.
 
This was pretty way-out in 1966. I believe they had to register it with the FAA just in case... :biggrin:

Exactly - This isn't a Ricer. Its a TRUE track car. Who cares if it ugly as long as it is functional.
 
Back in the swinging seventies...
