Both the car and driver already make for slippery vintage racing. Especially
at Daytona speeds.What is not aerodynamic has holes drilled in it.
(BTW, for those who know Bill Dalton, our VSCDA tech inspector, he appeared
on the American Movies Classics segment of "American Pop" in a film that was
produced when he 17 years old (1958). The performance was his Royal Teen's
hit record, "Short Shorts". I did not get it taped, but have alerted him to
it. If anyone sees a rerun of it, tape it, as Bill was not aware of this and
wants a copy)

<<Jack,
While you're at it, you could tape yarns onto the bodywork at strategic
points and observe the airflow with an eye toward improving the
aerodynamics.
Actually, this hurricane appears to be a perfectly awful way to ruin a race
weekend. We had just gotten my wife's Formula Vee back together after
extensive rework and she was really looking forward to her return to the
track.
It's probably a major inconvenience to a few other folks too.
