Don Garlits ran a wing similar to that a few years ago.

I found a pic where he was running it back in '92. NHRA has taken awhile to catch up, .

Just a side note guys for those that watch NHRA.
A new team last year has moved here to Pigeon Forge, in fact are renting shop space from me. Their name is Coghlan Motorsports. They were semi sponsored by Volvo Trucks last year and are currently looking for some good sponsorship, but still plan on running about 5-10 races on their own dime this year. They did pretty good for their first time out last season and could be serious competition if they could land sponsorship. I hope to go to a couple races with them this year and will keep everyone updated on their progress.
I also got keys to the shop. If someone happens to be in town, we could make a lap on the strip.......
