Seriously though, for a person who is studying engineering of any sort and for taper here who is into the aerodynamics etc. of automotive design, I would highly recommend that taper and all other engineering students in this field, get to places where high speed runs take place and for them to seriously observe.... and get information (possibly not at the site - but contact information of the competitors) and, during "lull" periods, get the real information.... stuff like horsepower, frontal area, gear ratios .... everything!.... and do any and/or all of us a huge favor..... help us out with the results of processing that information through your schools'(?) computers ....
It could also result in, if nothing else, better grades for taking it as seriously as this sounds....
