Jacked the hood up today and got everything organized for Race day!

Maybe a stupid question..but why jack the hood up?

Regardless, it looks and sounds good. Nice work man. Glad to see a Mopar out there..most racers I know don't run Mopars because they're heavy and expensive.

I'm ild guess and say its to help let some of that hot air out

Au contraire... they're neither. However, as long as the Brand X boys keep thinking that, it's a beautiful thing. Mopar unibodies are much lighter, stiffer, and overall stronger than the full-frame junk the GM and Ford boys use, and the Mopar small block is one of the best bang-for-the-buck V8s out there. Much less expensive to build to the same power level as a SBC and stronger to boot.

Last I heard from Diplomat_Wagon, he was 3rd in driver points and both the #1 car and #1 driver were Mopar-powered. :eusa_dance:

But you can buy SBC engine parts at Wal-Mart or 7-Eleven! Convenience!

That's only because people need them on a daily basis. Just like toilet paper.....

As Mr.Lopar said, jacking up the hood allows hot underhood air to escape.

Cars running good and even took home a heat race win last weekend.

Here's some videos.
