You see a lot of fun, creative, and sometimes weird vehicles at Holley’s Fest events. Whether it is LS Fest, Moparty, or Ford Fest there are always odd swaps and such that are specifically designed to get folks attention and be outside the box kind of rides. And that is what hot rodding is all about. But when you see an airplane, with no wings, driving around the show at Ford Fest, and then attacking the autocross, you kind of have to laugh and scratch your head. When I later found out it has been raced in a Lemons race, it made me laugh and nod in understanding. Check out the video below that talks about it with the owner, because this one is something you won’t see every day.
