johnny dee,

I am not mistaken there was a thread 1.5 years ago about front end lift at speed. sorry, I do not have the link or correct name. Dick Smith was mentioned then as well.

70s racecars sometimes had slots in the fenders above the front wheels.
one racer told me that's to help trapped air from the spinning (profiled rain tires) escape to reduce front end lift.

may be?

who tried to create a smooth bottom surface on the car, like a big sheet of aluminum to cover alle except the engine bay.

cooling for diff and trans maybeneded, though.

dominik, cape town
