QUOTE(brant @ Sep 17 2004, 12:00 AM) (too much weight) How much drag do you thing you're adding by leaving the windows out? The weight of the windows doesn't even come close to that I think the open window rule is weird... Anyway, how about a couple of naca ducts at the end of the roof (in a 180deg position) |

In my case as a vintage car:
I'm allowed no naca ducts, no spoilers (not even a front special edition valance) no cut outs in my hood no cut outs in my roof... no nonstock apperance items. nothing that looks or helps aero. I am allowed to lighten the car, remove glass and improve driver comfort... Removing all the glass, mechanisms, and max lightening my doors did save #60lbs...... quite a bit actually. I'm sure that I added drag by having the windows out, but it would be an oven in there to replace them with plexi.... thus the reason I'm exploring methods of venting some of that air. I heavily modified my top so it is more of a skin than a full roof panel. It no longer has the thick mounting area on the back, so it already is stood up from the chassis that amount (about 1.5 inches) brant |
