Title: strake question.....
Post by: Jonny Hotnuts on August 22, 2012, 07:54:57 PM

First, I cant find my rule book so I am going to generalize the question using the closest verbiage I can recall from memory....

Its in 4.CC.9

(*from 2011 book)

'The strake can not go more forward then the intersection of the belly pan/tray.'

My belly pan goes from nose to tail ......so what-where is my intersection of pan/tray????

2012 change: "...no further forward than the firewall or body cowl line, whichever is further forward."

Bold with usual rulebook meaning.

Fred, here is a good example of strakes on a car (*note the series of 'fins' on the back of the car). A MC could be built with strakes, I have seen odd things I would of never believed.....

  That car is one of those "looks fast even when standing still" examples.
  It sure would look good in my living room...............  Bob
