Last i checked an F1 car and a top fuel dragster don't have a VIN.
The changes he makes are easily reversed changes that drag racers have been doing for decades. The truck is built to allow those changes to be made quickly. Drooping the exhaust off, pulling mirrors, swapping wheels/tires... that is all commonplace.
hell it's not unusual to see people pulling their passenger seats out and leaving them on the ground. So long as it goes back in/on for the trip home it doesn't matter. This isn't about the street legal trim record. As far as i know that doesn't exist because the requirements vary from area to area.
That is why drag week was created. It is a simplification of the rules to end all the arguing. If you can register it, tag it, insure, and drive it over 1,000 miles while making a bunch of passes without breaking down it is a street car.
ohhhhh i get it.
So while its the "street" category, the cars are not street legal when they compete. Then after the race they make whatever modifications are required for the car to be street legal again.
It makes sense, because they wouldnt perform as good if they were legal on the street while in their actual builds/ specs.
