    Dale McDowell is one of the calmest, smartest, and BEST drivers out there. When he talks, even as a fan who doesn't race, you should listen. He is full knowledge, which not only helps your understanding as a racer but as a fan as well. I have MAD RESPECT for The Mac Daddy!

          Aero is a huge double edged sword. It can be some the cheapest speed money can buy, because really, sheet metal and rivets aren't that expensive. It can also be some the most expensive speed money can buy, because once you have your aero package down to a tee, you have to tailor the rest of the car to take advantage of it.
