The cantilevered mounting looks risky given the wing size to say the least, as speed increases the pitch will increase as well  And if it buckles
he will have the wing wrapped around his face

Is it on backwards?
Or is it me that needs to go back to school.

Backwards?? Huh - how'd you work that out? Yes - straight back to school 
It's presumably positioned over the car's cog to provide equal downforce front and rear, hence the strange mount. Does look a bit flexy
though!
Ah well at least it clearly hasn't been put on for looks! So fair play.

assuming by backwards you mean upside down, then yes I think so. And I really don't think there is any point in that thing on a 7 on a drag
strip. Won't help traction off the line, it'll just kill it's top speed

Perhaps the idea is to provide lift rather than downforce, to make the car lighter (accelerate quicker) and to reduce the tyre wear.

It's just that I thought the fat bit went to the front like a aeroplane but upside down.

Crikey - it's got an LS1 (or 2 or 6 or whatever)

RE: some of these comments. American maybe, but credit the guy with some common sense! It's clearly a serious racer - wings on
backwards/up-side-down? Yeah right. Wing like that on a drag strip? Er, maybe it's a circuit (they do have them in the US). Americans
aren't that silly.
