Race Car Aerodynamics, by Josepb Katz is also a good read IMO.

maguromic---I bought it based on someones past post---you are right it has a much Lalester "stuff" as I have found---I am in the process of giving the RAT a nose BOB at this time based on it---as well as going back to solid front suspension based on Tom Burklands recomendation and more "rake" as is mentioned in the article Propester posted.
