I think we all anguish over this problem. I really wanted to run mine out the rear of the car but had to deal with several problems: 1. Vertical slot in rear of car is only 1" wide. 2. limited space

I'm sure there are many opinions on this as we have already seen but both of my liners have been built rigid on both ends with no suspension. We set nine records with the first one and still don't k

That's a real bummer isn't it. You reach the point where aerodynamic drag exceeds available traction and additional horsepower only makes it blow the tires off which brings you up over the steering

Sure can. Traction is not an absolute on the salt. You reach the point where aerodynamic drag exceeds available traction and you get wheelspin. At that point you have two choices. Add weight ( be car

Thanks for the reply. My liner comes together gradually at the rear with a 1" vertical slot which I hope is a low pressure area to promote airflow thru the car. I don't think I will need them there

It appears you have that figured out. That's why most of the fast liners have vertical fins on the back. It insures the center of aerodynamic pressure is behind the center of gravity. On my car the
