I was just wondering if the air went over where the headlights are that smooth.

Yea, and I was going to comment on that o so smooth wake.[pic pg. 3] Maybe nasa ought to go to El Mirage and learn a few things. Well maybe they can tell us how come there is no vacuum at the rear of the car.[no drag] Talk about energy savings [no more mideast oil.

Well maybe they can tell us how come there is no vacuum at the rear of the car.[no drag] Talk about energy savings [no more mideast oil.FYI: I think that CFD model on pg. 3 was from a university... not from nasa. A university is not going to have an advanced CFD program or modeler to have a very accurate representation. I think that is from a student project and would not read into it very much as what the bounding streamlines are really doing on a car like that. The dust in the youtube videos is an excellent representation of the wake of the car. The 222 car vacuums up more dust because of the rear spoiler and lower pressure under it [ AR I know you know this but some readers might not] any how have you ever tested a rear overhanging spoiler like a prostock car [15''] or 10'' in our case to measure the pressure difference between top and bottom? Our spoiler measures 10 by 53=530 sq. in". 1 lb less pressure = 530 lbs downforce but have no idea what it really is. I'm sure the prostock guys know. JL222
I'm interested in getting more into building and modifying cars, do you have any place that you recommend for a beginner?
