Aerodynamics / Re: Educate Me On Hood Scoops

This is a subject that will make your head hurt, lots of black magic on inlet size. Also the air box and what takes place in it will also make your head explode. Lots of smart guys that will be willing to help out. Good luck!

I know all of the aero is black magic.  It hurt my head typing it...

After building several scoops that "looked right" but didn't work we hired Dave Woodward, Woody, at Design Dreams to design one for us. It took me a month to build it but It works! and with some better sealing to the engine air box it should be better. You can find Woody's contact info on the Landracing web site.

I talked with Skip about this out of the box idea, to my knowledge, it never saw the salt...the engine was used on several dragstrip for some fun and show...more fun than speed...as it were demonstration runs...see attachment

Looks more like some sort of a dirt car to me than LSR material but we do have newbies that come along from time to time who don't have a clue!

Anybody know anything about this car?

As far as I can tell, it was built but never ran in anger.  Is this correct?

According to the 1984 SCTA record book, the Stanley Rocket set the record in 1906 at 127.660 mph and the Steamin' Deaon raised it to 145.607 mph in 1985. I found no runs of this car on the salt
