We had 3 people in the tunnel with cameras and video.   I'll post some additional pics when they send them to me.   The action is in the control room where Jack and Dave monitored the information and bark orders.

Super cool, Charles!  The development and build of this car have been an inspiration.

Thanks for posting.  Go get 'em, Udo!

CK Thanks for posting the pics, 4 hours of non stop action, didn't have time to pickup my camera.  Looks like the control room guys had the  "kush" job, sitting in the AC,  barking orders over the PA.......

Udo,  yes and when Jack came over the PA and would bark out orders it sounded like God giving out the 10 commandments....  "Thou Shalt Remove that Rear Spolier NOW !!!"   LOL  You guys then looked like a bunch of busy beavers working feverishly around the car.  What a great day..

What differences did you see going from your original nose configureation to the air dam configuration?

From the optimum configuration, the big nose, when first installed, showed worsening of total lift and front and rear lift as well as moderate increase in Cd (30-40 counts).  Dave Salazar suggested that was screwy and we checked and found that indeed the install crew had made minor error with the bottom of the splitter not parallel to the floor. With that corrected, there was slight improvement in the Cd (but not to optimum level) and much improvement in front downforce. Rear lift was slightly improved but did not go negative ( ie still lift, not downforce)

Nice!  Thanks so much for sharing everything you are doing. Jerico is a strong trans that gives you close ratios selection.  My 2.20 Muncie is just not close enough. I have been lusting after a Jerico for a while.  :wink:
