It’s going to scare old ladies and convince hard line Pro Mod traditionalists that the IHRA has lost its mind, but Harold Martin has been given the “all clear” by the IHRA and ran has odd new car at the Mardi Gras Nationals last weekend!

It was a rough weekend for Martin who qualified at the end of a short field with a run of eight seconds and change. He lost in the first round to Tommy Gray. We’re not sure how many UFO reports were filed by Louisiana residents this weekend, but we’ll let you know, especially if they involve abductions and probing.

There’s a bunch of photos of this car on the track here. We think it looks even stranger in the wild.
