    See that overhead shot of Bloomers car?

    The body is so narrow starting behind the front tires. It looks kinda "circumcised" if you know what I mean. Are all the cars like that?

      It also looked like Stormy Scotts spoiler was kinda curved, not straight.

          I was just talking about this with my brother and had taken a picture. Here it is for reference. We were talking about how narrow the front was when he came back out a couple weeks ago after that long break. The right elephant ear was much flatter at the top than everyone else as well.

            Thanks. I'm glad someone got a picture of that. It's almost an indy car with a wing for a nose.

              Could you imagine if the right front and right rear tires had to be in line with each other?

                I'd like to see that in comparison with the #49.

                  Didn’t get a good look at Davenport tonight, but when we noticed it a few weeks ago, Bloomquist’s car was significantly more narrow at the front than Davenports.

                    They just went over all the cars and the only one that looked almost as skinny was one of the Scott brothers Longhorns.Didn't Bloomquist have access to a new Longhorn when he started up with Strickler? Is he copying them but taking it a little farther?

                      those XR1's aren't even close to that shape.

                        Johnny’s is a brand new one, just picked up last week, so maybe they are trying something out after seen Bloomquist a couple weeks ago. I didn’t think the other Longhorns were as narrow as it, but they are more narrow than the rockets.

                        But it makes sense by narrowing the front of the door, the aero will help you straighten out the car more.

                            Strickler didnt own a Longhorn at the time, his old team bought his

                              Austin Kirkpatrick body is crazy, his left rear tire isn’t even under the body of the car.
