Paul...I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm saying if you have to prove aero stability on cars,roadsters,lakesters and motorcycles,
it will outlaw most vehicles [ get it]?
Do you honestly think a roadster will prove aero stability, if not who is going to be hanged?

P.S. You want facts so other people can use them, yet you wont even name your aerodynamist.
Hi Jl222, I really do feel that if someone builds a vehicle to reach a speed whereby the speed has not yet been achieved, and then attempts that speed without proving the stability of the vehicle first then that said person should not be allowed to run his vehicle. If you have concerns about a roadster being able to prove aero stability, then don't build a roadster! I will not run any vehicle unless it is proven to be capable of reaching its intended speed safely. I don't want to risk that precious gift called life, nor do I want that on my conscience nor do I want any spectators of the sport to witness injury or worse just because I think I know and understand enough about aerodynamics that I don't need to test.
Safety should be paramount! First and foremost and if we have the will do do something then, usually we will find a way to do it.
Just my opinion on this subject and it should not concern anyone else nor offend anyone else because I do not intend to sport with anyones feelings.
Good health
Paul
PS I know a man who is building a WLSR car who claimed that he didn't need CFD and that's why I am not working with him!
