The carbon fibre looks sweet. Jim Head's car looks good with minimal signage. I think it gives it more of a racey look. So what if they just didn't get around to paintin it? The point of Nitro racing is the engines, not the paint(vinyl decal) job.

Years ago I ran my car unpainted bare carbon and was given a one race exemption to run it. They told me if I showed up at the next event with it unpainted we couldn't run.

NHRA needs to stick to that rule. Otherwise, no one will be painting their cars and the car show that NHRA has always been will look the same on black and white TV as it does in person.

You have to give a lot of credit to DSR for some of the more wild and beautiful FC paint schemes on Capps', Scelzi's and Beckman's machines. If it takes no paint at all to beat them, that sucks.

Using the old adage of 100 lbs equaling a tenth of a second, when John says his car is 30-40 pounds heavier than Hight's, does that mean that John should've run 4.08 range? I'm sorry but even if he shaved .03 to .04 off his qualifying time, he'd still only run 4.11 or 4.12 which would have only put him in the 13th spot. There's more going on than just a heavy paint job.

This is much better looking than the white cars. I say..."keep it"!
