  1. This may not be exactly right but close.
  2. Copied from the NHRA site. Remember drag racing’s version of “the Terrible Towel?” A takeoff on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 1975 playoff fan promotion, crew chief Dale Armstrong and his merry group of pranksters on Kenny Bernstein’s Budweiser King team raised eyebrows and suspicions when they started covering a component on their Funny Car when the car was in public and then quickly and deftly removing it just as the body was lowered. Everyone got so intrigued by it that the team spray-painted a question mark on it, further ramping up the furor. As Armstrong explained to me years later, the device had its origins in trying to create an automatic shifter for Bernstein but repurposed it instead into an automatic high-speed leanout jet that would kick in between 3.6 and 3.8 into the run. “It was unique, so we covered it up, but it wasn’t that big a deal, really,” he said. “But when everyone made such a big deal about the towel, we made an even bigger production out of it to mess with everyone’s head."
