The timeless Malibu body was specifically designed for the growing no-prep SC drag racing scene and bowtie fans will love the ultra-scale body that captures all the signature details of Mark Micke’s 4,700hp, twin-turbo, 200mph+ G-body Malibu. To create the most scale look possible, the body is designed with a narrower track width than a traditional SC body.

Unlike the normal Reedy race, the format was adapted slightly from this point, with the top eight drivers based on their combined…
