The GP at the Glen was so cool back then. Basically, all access anywhere u wanted to go. Last race of the year so after the race, all teams would sell stuff for next to nothing - car parts, tires, crew jackets, etc. so they didn't have to haul it back to Europe.

1979 was also the year that Gilles Villeneuve was 9 seconds faster than anyone else in qualifying on Friday during heavy rain. I've never seen anything else like it in F1, even with Senna.

Waiting for the snow to melt so I can take some field measurements of a building, so I cut up a business card and compared a Ducktail to an alternate location a bit higher.

Would be made of clear Polycarbonate or Acrylic.

Not sure yet what would happen with the flow/vortex and pressure level above the engine cooling inlet.

This is a side-by-side comparison, would not double Duck, although I guess one could.

As I understand it, the Ducktail, Teatray, and Whaletail all try to correct the approximately 30 degree roof angle to mimic an approximate 20 degree slope (almost like a louver - steps).
