Will I then have less drag??? Will the race car then go
faster, or
have better fuel economy at the same speed (a very
important
factor in endurance racing)? Wow, ... talk about a "racer's
edge"
.... if it's true that is ... Does anybody REALLY know ... I
mean
from a practical rather than just a "running the numbers" point
of
view??
Hi
Leon,
Lot's of good info
mentioned already, but I'll add that I have spoken with the folks at Howe
Racing, who make radiators for a number of professional NASCAR teams. They
told me that they make different radiators, for different types of tracks.
For the long, fast tracks, they make very thick radiators, strictly because the
car will have less drag. Apparently they have to make thinner ones for
shorter tracks, when slower speeds are expected.
All I know about
the FD radiator is that mine didn't work that well in the summer.
However the Fluidyne handled a brief 120 mph multi-car pass today
:-)
Rusty (love
that car)
