Crew Chief, Tuna Murphy, and his driver Kayla Berish had a winning design with this closed cockpit racer. Kayla leaned forward and was sealed into the racer. Unfortunately during practice she had handling problems. As a compromise she was allowed to race but without the cockpit cover and with her head above the body. This compromise proved to be uncompetitive.
 
However, in honor of Tuna and Kayla's efforts and as a tribute to Joey Ramone, this tab includes the hit "Needle & Pins" by the Ramones!

The blue area on the car is the windshield.

The cover will be removed prior to racing.
