Welcome to New York, John. Good to be here. The series we run is the NHRA series. The types of cars we run are cars that race side by side down a quarter mile with the speed over 300mph for less than 5 seconds. The name 'Funny Car' originated because years ago, when somebody took their moms' cars down the drag strip, they moved the rear end forward, raised the front end, cut a hole on the windshield and put an exotic motor in there.
Funny car is probably the hardest car to drive among drag racing categories.
You have to wrestle the car down the straight with the steering. However, it doesn't bother me now. The reason is, those cars are long-range cars, which are not made to make instant power. Actually, I have never been asked that. We were only talking about the improvement in the wind tunnel, which is about 1000 lbs on the rear end with minor changes.
