NHRA Funny Car rookie Spencer Hyde launches off the Summit Motorsports Park starting line carrying a special look on the Jim Head-owned-and-tuned Head Contractors Mustang. Like the screw-blown’ 69 Camaro he drove to the $ 100,000 win at the 2023 Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod, the green“ Jack & The Green Stock” look is a tribute to Hyde’ s grandfather’ s cousin, Jack Hyde, and the car he raced in the late 1960s. Norwalk was the ideal race for the tribute look, as it’ s the home race on the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series tour for the Stratford, Ontario, Canada-based driver.
