Hmmm...I wounder what is in this box, I don't know but that is a good place for it.



It's better to get rid of the non aerodynamic box





Now to find out how to remove the tie down straps

How hard is it to take your wing off? When I trailer my car more than the 50 miles to local events I pull the wing off to save the 0.5-1 mpg, that adds up on a 1738 mile journey. At least your trailer made mad downforce. :rotfl:

I left it up to get some pics of the setup while driving. Since there was a lot of dirt out in the mid west. I put a strip of Plasidip along the leading edge of the wing to protect it.

The car sits at 2020 lbs
The Uhaul trailer is at 2360 lbs (now that's a heavy bitch)

So a little update

This is the beginning of the radiator duct and not the full project. I haven't designed the air exit out the hood yet but it is on its way.

So here are some pics

To help people out on their ducting, I add a Thread in Race Prep to exchange ideas on the topic
