There's also the factor of moisture percolating to the surface of the salt in the heat of the day. Salt growth is from the brine that is drawn to the surface, evaporating, and leaving salt flowers/cr

Right tree. Drag is proportional to air density and so is normally aspirated HP-you break even. NO2 , nitro, and supercharging have the benefit of being able to increase engine air density with adjus

It is great fun to try to figure this stuff out. Drag goes up with the square of the speed and HP goes up with the cube of the speed but both are directly proportional to air density. (see Katz "Rac

Aerodynamic drag is a cubic function, whereas the increase in horsepower due to increased air density would be linear. Is that too much of an oversimplification DrMayf?? Therefore what we gain in hor
