The guy over to the right of the pic (official) waved me into the staging lanes. I can not see past the hood scoop and ran over the cone...had no idea until a few guys waved at me. I thought I had a leak or something.

I did run a new best of 5.243 though !!! Equaled my best 60' time also 1.150

That sounds like a good definition for streetable.
"If you run over a traffic cone because you can't see it... your car might not be streetable."

That's impressive if a new best came on the very run, after that kind of pre-race panic.

Ya, that scoop is big and the seat in the car is low. I would not want that set up in a street car. That run was a best et, and the next run was another best et.
