Chip Foose, world-renowned auto designer and builder and TV personality, and
Doug Kalitta, NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series Top Fuel dragster ace, have one
very cool thing in common – Their passion for fast, eye-stopping and
jaw-dropping hot rods. This Labor Day weekend, Aug. 29-Sept. 3, in Indianapolis,
Foose, Kalitta and Mac Tools will once again team up to bring auto racing fans
from across the globe a unique and very fast, 8,000-horsepower compilation of
style and speed.
At drag racing’s biggest and most prestigious event in the world, the Mac
Tools U. S. Nationals at O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis, Kalitta, who
usually drives the “Big Red” Mac Tools Top Fuel dragster, will guide the
controls of the Mac Tools/Foose Design 330-mph, nitro-fueled dragster.
The delicately decorated Mac Tools/Foose Design dragster’s carbon fiber body,
was hand-painted by Foose at his custom hot rod shop in Huntington Beach, Calif.
Among its ornate features are “ghosted” palm leaves throughout the design and a
magnificent melding of bronze and light blue with a small green pinstripe.
