    last two races in Arizona

    looks like #42 has less droop than any of the front runners, How could that be ?

    Racing is more complicated than who has the most droop.

        He clearly understands his car and has it setup to his liking. Less droop must fit his driving style.

            Shaw was lightning fast up here at Wissota tracks all season, had a hell of a year.

                Is he faster with the open motor?

                    If two cars have the same balance and mechanical grip, the one with the higher spoiler will be faster.

                    But, you have to maximize the mechanical grip and get the forces from the rear tires pointing in the right direction at the right time before the added aero means a lot.

                      Lightning fast is an understatement in the 2 races I seen him in. I had never even heard of the dude but I mostly follow mods. Wissota has some bad fast racing going on.

                          Who is Clanton????Shaw claims to have the same motor combo he ran last year in the WISSOTA races. I am doubting that claim.

                              Vic can build a Wissota engine, I would assume. He is into crate stuff now too.
