Hi Keith,
I suspect you understand far more aerodynamics than you're letting on.
Unless you are running ground effect tunnels, then yes, exclude the air from
under the car. I'd suggest skirts along rocker panels too so the air can't
get under from the sides either.
Are you sure you really want to know where KFC gets those chicken "parts?"

Subject: Reading? hmmm / Aero
Now there is a new and semi forgein skill.... Do I have to comprehend it?
is it testable? These are some of the questions of life....
Now kick back and think about this..... If you allow air under the car in
massive quanities you have the pension for that air to rejoin at the back of
the car..... the longer distance ( top of car ) is going to cause a low
pressure area and obviously create our hero LIFT..... Now Mr Lift he does
some good things and some bad things.... but in this case it's all bad...
as less weight on the tires equates to a lessor ability to put the power
avalible to the ground....
Hence my theory of Letting as little air as possible to go UNDER the car....
Keep the air out and force it over the top and it has to create a High
pressure area on the nose of the car..... then all you have to worry about
is the air going down the side trying to lift the rear quarter panels as it
goes past the back tire.... This of course isn't something I have thought
about much other then to watch what Nascar does to go Fast.... just
followed thier lead. Check out the raised rear quarters next time you see a
Nascar..... amazing.
Now on to the real question of life.....
1. Where does Kentucky Fried Chicken get those little chicken parts? How
can it be feasible to have a drumstick that small.....? This has been
perplexing me for years..... so I put it down as one of my Major life
questions....
Keith
