Invent ?
If Marcia and Wendy were not the first somebody else would be.
Now they will be the first forever.
Marcia and Wendy were so far first, the "GOOD OL BOYS" made rules that eliminate the possibility of another to try and exceed them.

Jack, I should have known better than to try to do an end-run around your logic and way of expressing yourself.  Let me simply state:  Hunh?

Costella,couldn't  see "jack____" when salt conditions were bad with the prisim system,thats why he redesigned the canopy on NBT III.  and got rid of it. I don't think a camera type system will work in a streamliner  with suspension either, the salt conditions are to rough.

Slim needs to spend some time at the foot of an elder.
Do we have anybody willing to help him along ? :wink:

Which foot you wanna see first, Jack?  No matter how many times you say it -- I still would rather you come out and say it in plain English.  Hey, maybe I even know what you're talking about -- just can't understand your hazy references to unclear points of arcane data lodged in the dim recesses.  Can you say it clearly?  We already know you like to attempt being clever -- sometimes it gets in the way of the message.  Sorry if my expressed frustration sounds like I'm being disrespectful, but I don't understand what you're trying to say.  Maybe it's best this way.

Pookie:  You might be right about rough conditions making a video system not workable.  But you may not be right, either.  The only way to determine for sure -- is to try it.  Jack C. tried and abandoned his idea -- maybe this one would have to be thrown out, too.  We'll never know for sure 'til we try.

He didn't catch where it was spelled right and then returned to it's former glory.
Holding hands while the work is done for you is only rarely useful, it is better have someone point the way and be available to help as required.
Where do you start ?

Jack said he couldn't focus because of vibration due to the lack of suspension, not because of any defect in the prisim. Sitting up more and getting his head off the floor is the reason for changing the car. As I understand it.

I think one of the problems with the HPV was that the lack of peripheral vision was problematic, but this may be related to balance and keeping a two wheeled vehicle upright. 

Lower A does not automatically equate to lower overall drag.  It should though, and it should be relatively easy to keep the Cd the same or even lower by losing the canopy. 

Take a look at the small canopy on something like the Buddfab streamliner, how much smaller do you want it?

Have a car number on this?  I tried to find a photo of this out of curiosity, and came up empty.

This was a belly tank, correct?

Thanks Freud, and thanks to Sumner for the great site!

Interesting that it looks like they have side (and forward) vision through plexiglass as well as the periscope.
