Hey Lou, while you are around... are the vents I see cut in the hoods and fenders for cooling or downforce? Maybe both? If it were just the hood it would be more obvious but I see tons of cars with them cut in the tops of the fenders. Could be to help cool tires but that may be a bit of a stretch. Long squirrly track racing is new to me but I'm liking it more and more.

THe funny thing is that the guy making rules agreed to the bigger wing, then the Vipers lost about 3 mph on the straights. (do you think it could have been the bigger, more agressive wing?). So to make up for the lost speed, the rules makers gave the Vipers 45 more hp and 100 pounds less weight this year
So is it any wonder why the Vipers are all at the front with sandbags falling out of their cars this year. (510cu in, more power, and more downforce)
Off soap box!
