    maybe be a dumb question

    this may be a stupid question but its something ive always been curious about. ive noticed on alot of your guys trucks (esp the ones at the strip) are missing one of the head lights on the passenger side i believe. just curious why this is? im not one much to go to the track so maybe there is a reason behind this?

    when you have an open element( no enclosed airbox) air cleaner, it allows cooler air to enter through the headlight opening. Some believe it makes them faster due to the cooler air coming in through the headlight opening.

    not a stupid question, I wondered the same thing until I realized it was always the right headlight missing lol. I'm more curious now as to why the hazards kept coming on?

    There are a lot of variables, maybe the air was a little warmer on that run or maybe you had a little less traction. I am sure it helps, but maybe not very much.

    Probably the same gain as taking a huge dump before the race to lighten yourself up.
