Looks like the hubcap rule has caught up with the FAST guys.

They were making passes at the NMCA event this weekend (US131 Dragway, Martin MI) and I see they had the trim rings removed from the drive wheels. Still running the full set up (cap and ring) on the fronts.

Pennington was going 9.30's I believe and is now sporting a parachute.
