The exhaust on the spine can be seen above the red and white flag stripes.

I talked to Rick yesterday and he said at full RPM the exhaust puts out 60 PSI. It's a shaft drive turbine and no exhaust thrust like a jet engine. BTW I am helping Rick with both cars.

The Bluebird CN7 was also powered by a shaft drive turbine - but if the "exhaust" escape through a very small cross section a kind of "thrust" will be produced....and both engines was very powerful. For the power size the exhaust of the Turbinator was very small so there is the possibility that it produced a kind of downforce...so for the Bluebird it was some "moving thrust".
