Yeah, I'm going beg to run CFD on it with our NA model at least. Get some good starting points and test it on track. I figure they'll have one test event at Daytona before nationals to do that.

I'll share the CFD on this forum too, once I get it.

I was speculating about this in my first post

NASA Florida and Southeast are planning an event at Daytona on May 29-30, and then Nationals will be there on Sept 16-19.

Also, here's a photo of my assistant from when the 9 Lives packages arrived ... maybe good for a cat or two?

Finally a video of my fastest lap at Daytona - air dam with no wing. Unfortunately, the audio did not work.

Just seeing this thread, but I have to second Emilio's post regarding a low AOA spoiler.
To me, seeing that you set your best lap w/o a wing, means that there's more to be had with the use of a spoiler.
