FYI...The Team Virgin Cigs won the Worlds & The Nationals in 2002.....Not quite 30 years ago......For Whatever reasons Cigarette has chosen not to back racing since......
May have something to do with how FUBARed Racing is ? I dont know.

Racing costs lots of money....
Skip knows nothing about racing and dosen't want to...he is a bussiness man and bought Cig to make money for himself.
Thats not saying he never will and maybe this Ben Robertson his part of that but he spent a big nut on the new factory.

Would that be the new "option" hull? You have the option of running either side up.



Just kidding Cig guys!

Come to think of it, I've seen both of those brands with the option hull too.
