    I don't wanna get down in the weeds and I guarantee my way would unhook the cars more. Going back to a roof that causes lift would be a game changer.

      I said no nose splitter. I said curved roof. You could not have a huge drop from the door to the driver tub in 2000. You could not run the decking uphill to the spoiler as much as you wanted.

      I also said remove spoiler. Who cares if a nose with no lip is on the ground? I removed 900# of downforce from the back.

        The hood could not be lower than the body sides, at all. Yes, the deck was 36". The cars were considerably narrower as well. There was too many things to count. And they all matter.

          I know this is a little off topic from the last handful of posts but I just hope that this young man gets him a good ride for next season, he's one helluva great talent, and a young man with a cool personality, I've enjoyed my chats with him at a few of the big races this year, he has unlimited potential, and in my humble opinion long after I'm gone, he will be as successful as his ol' man someday. Give the young man a ride, those of you with deep pockets, and a love for our favorite sport ! Go get 'em Hudson !

            Call me guilty of adding a "g" and maybe I'm off a year or two. I have a pre splitter new nose in the garage attic. I was thinking it was from 1999 or 2000. You get my point. If the back and left side of the car can't catch air, the rest does not matter. You can seal the front perfectly, but if the back has no aero load, the car isn't hooked.

            I haven't seen a car all year where the hood was only 1" below a straight line across the doors and fenders.

              They should make the bodies square you can see with the naked eye the rr quarters are at least at a 22 degree angle from the door to spoiler...

                  While I totally agree costs are outta hand, and cars are outta hand, it has zero to do with politics.

                  Racers have done it to themselves, just as they always have. It’s up to the rules people to make rules and totally enforce them with no wiggle room.

                  I think Burns was blowing too much money. He has a business to run. If he was eating into his profits, I’m sure he was, to run race cars for zero profit, then he!! ya, eventually you say no more.

                  He may still do something for his boy, who knows.

                  I hope Hudson finds a ride, good young man. Little rough, but a good head on his shoulders from what I’ve seen.

                    The aero push is from getting behind another car. The other car is moving tons of air and there is none left for you. You could achieve the effect your way, but again, left side 2/3 of right? You asking tech to measure and do math? Just take the downforce off.

                      And all those buried in the weeds front ends and raked LR's are controlled by what ? SHOCKS drivers get the air moving over that left rear because it's high enough to push all the air straight up over the following car. Those elephant ears are the only thing that save them from losing the front end and skating across the track. You can't change just one and not the other. Both series know that, so you give them a spec sheet showing what valving you can run on the RF and LR tie that LR down and the difference would be huge.

                        There is no easy answer. WoO, Lucas, they all know it. If they come up with a drastic rule change and the other series doesn't follow then there going to have a real problem. Huck your probably right because then someone will come up with a spring combination to make up for the shock travel.

                          Huck why are saying AFTER a race rather than before? Just curious, can the car not settle down to 'normal' height after a race without help?

                            No most of them won't that is why you see crew members hanging on the lr before tech.
