I would go with white. Not that it is all that eye catching, but racing gets hot and white reflects the sun. Black, especially flat black, will be a hot box on race day.

I agree with white. Most drag cars don't have a 100% straight body (at least for long) and white will help hide this. A white engine compartment is easier to work in after dark too. Plus people will actually be able to see it at the end of the track.

yeah, I thinking about that, one past two passes wont heat it up bad with a black car, I could see it having some effect if you were running hot lap after hot lap but I be running her once and shuting it down while in line. so I agree with grimlen X on the black car.

I was at Cecil a couple of years ago and it was in the 90's. Cars were in line staging, running, etc. The drivers sure looked hot to me. Maybe they had their AC running, but watching was hotter than heck and being in a car couldn't have been much cooler. Some of them were returning to the staging lanes with their doors held open.

I said the stock color but they have a point on how hot it gets inside the car. Mine now is flat red paint on roof & red primer on the rest and it gets HOT! This year I have 3 layer jacket too!
I am going to go with the stock 70 Jav yellow when I get the $$

why the 3 layer jacket Dave? Mine is only one layer. You going alot faster this year?
I left my windows alone so I can roll them down in the summer. I don't think it's that bad though. Maby I am just a redneck and don't care about the heat. I noticed Black is winning the poll
