[Fot] drag co-efficient and frontal area data for selected Triumphs

[Jack Brooks]

Bill,
 
Nope, I missed adding the <grin>.  Sorry.  I've always felt the 3 was an
aerodynamic nightmare, but in reality, it may be better than the 4-6's.  It
would be interesting to get a side by side comparison.
 
I've even more sorry I missed the weekend at Pacific Raceways.  Things got
crazy here and I didn't realize it was "that weekend" until Sunday night.
Grrrr.  Yeah, I know it's the 4th, but I just didn't "get it".
 
Sorry for the confusion.
 
Jack

Jack, 
I assume you are serious, do the calculations for drag come apart at higher
drag numbers, like pipe turbulence does?

Ken,



It's impossible to calculate the Drag Coefficient of a TR3. . . . it's far


too high.




Jack (Ken)...

Drop any decimal, and put your paper in the landscape position.
