John, very interesting, I am impressed by these high downforce numbers.
I guess we are to understand that NASCAR racers have gradually developed
this practice over many years, simply to push down harder on the tires
for all purposes: cornering, acceleration, and straightaway stability.
When they used actual stock bodies years ago, there must have been
little or none of this. Chuck Salmen mentioned that his '34 Ford
roadster body has a degree of natural downforce ($um Fun Roadster), but
I doubt my '32 has much if any. Cheers Bill
