I remember a thread a long time ago. Can some one tell me the benefits of raising the rear of the btoom. Do you think it would have any effect on air flow over engine lid, in a positive way?
Opinions? |

I Love it! I need to add that to my bag of tricks. Actually the rear end twitching around keeps people back now through that turn! At a previous event I was watching a 911 turbo come on me and then it suddenly backed off. Found out one of my brake cooling tubes (3" aluminum dryer venting from Home Depot) had come off and dropped onto the track. Turned out it was Hank Watts (Secrets of Solo Racing) behind me and I told him I was using the same strategy as WWII U-boats and occasionaly jetison parts. That did make him laugh. |
