QUOTE(URY914 @ May 31 2011, 04:12 AM)  QUOTE(J P Stein @ May 30 2011, 07:52 PM) Bill: That's the nice thing about building a race car, you can do anything you want...within the rules. You can do research on an issue and choose to employ an item or not. The results show up at the track (or in this case AX). Other's opinions on the net are free and in some cases, wise.....others are worth what they cost. It appears to me that Randal is making a good run at building a hell of an AXer to compete in a larger arena. Pay attention, you may learn sumthin'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Yeah Bill what do you know. LOL! Honestly with the little T4 in that car I dont think extra drag is what Randal wants right now. He needs all the speed he can muster? I'd spend more time cleaning up airflow over the car as Bill suggests. Especially if he is hillclimbing the car. Too much spoiler drag can take tons of top speed off the straights in low HP car like his. You guys are looking at spoilers on 350 to 500 HP cars as models? One might argue they dont need to worry about drag as much as a sub 200 HP car that weighs the same.

That looks much more reasonable and ability to adjust is key in my mind as you wont want much drag for those uphill runs approaching 100 MPH. I think the hillclimb classes allow a wing dont they? Those big goofy spoilers are so SCCA Solo2. |

Easy to get another piece of aluminum cut at the metal house in Redwood City, drill holes and bolt it on to my existing mini spoiler. If I make it 10" high then I'll have to add some upstands in back or tie downs in front. Think I will try this after I return from Medford. |

My EP car is allowed the same 10" rule as the Mod class, but mine isn't done yet. I think I am going with a clear one as well, though Aluminum is a close second. Lexan is durable and light (though not cheap).
Other than that, I don't have much to add. |
