McKinney-built Funny Cars have made their mark in drag racing history. We developed the body mounting techniques that helped Chuck Etchells run the first four-second elapsed time in a Funny Car and assisted Jim Epler in breaking the 300 mph
barrier. McKinney body mounting components are designed to withstand thousands of pounds of downforce while minimizing weight and maintaining safety.
