we don't like old cars for their comfort and leg room. one of his other cars is a 27 roadster and smaller than the truck. his 61 Buick Electra 225 is like an ocean liner. guess which one gets driven the most

Really interested in your wing and aero setup. Do you have a thread with more info on it that you could point me to?

JeremyD just posted this pic over at the racing forum.



I'll get you more details later (editing video to post a lap or two on youtube). BTW, this version 2.0 with the additional depth on the front splitter (vs the photo posted above)

35's can pick up some speed in the unsual attitudes for sure. Seems Docs and lawyers like the 421 also, same situation more money than experience and egos to not give a sh##.
