If I got it right it's owned by Fast54 on the lounge.

It's registred for the street, and has done a best of  9.2:s with an all steel body, stock pan and suspension. Weighing in at 2050 lbs. We hope to get him over to SCC this fall.

And it looks SOO good!

He needs the chute for racing according to the rules - nice or not, the trap speed is 253 km/h.
According to SHRA and NHRA a chute is needed over 240 km/h (150 mph). It isn't that popular to have it in the street though, it is a cop magnet.
The wing is needed to get it stable, it is a bit exciting to say the least when you see him go down the quarter.
