The mph that car is running is a monster number for that class which represents a lot of horsepower……..hmmm! That ‘nose down’ attitude’ for that car keeps frontal air from getting up in the engine compartment which would help it’s mph number a little bit. That car’s ‘nose down’ effect is similar to the optional front air dam (with rear spoiler) available on the ‘67 - ‘69 Camaros which also kept frontal air from doing the same thing.

I understand the drag radial group checks the heat on the u-joints after every run and replaces every three or four runs, evidently the severe chassis separation is causing drive shaft angles to be out enough to warrant this.
