Aerodynamics, nig nogs.

Re: Aerodynamics, nig nogs.
Aero starts getting important anywhere near or over 100 MPH. Before that is not too important. There are a lot of ways to increase down force without causing drag. When I am out racing, it seems like I hit a brick air wall at about 120. It takes a ton of power to push pasted it. Plus my tires that I run have a ton of drag, studded iceracing tires.

I calc'd it once, but forget the specifics. It's not large at all... minimal Cd + minimal frontal area is why CRXs stay even with equivalent power:weight domestics until 60 mph when wind resistance really picks up. And then, they start walking away.
