Glen, P.P.,
Not to cloud it more, but I would think that a wheel could throw up it's own
rooster tail even by being pushed/pulled rather than driven, especially if there
was increased downforce as well. Not sure if it would show up the same for a
front open wheel, or if the air flow around and past the rear wheels would have
it's own effect?
Cheers,
Rick
(haven't measured degrees, but I always liked the rear end shape of the old '48
Pontiac. We shall see ;-)
