since i broke the barrier, i had to add a diaper or belly pan. i chose the pan. here's what i came up with. i know the guys really well at the local track, so i'm hoping this will fly. if i need to widen it i can pretty easy. will see this thursday if it's not too hot.

not sure what it is, i work at a machine shop and it's what they use for oil spills, it's free, so it works for me!

I dont think it'll fly... if I remember the pan is
to go from rail to rail with a minimum of 2" walls

i was with you on that, but i've been looking at some that are made for dragsters and of coarse the motors are the same, so what the heck differance do it make. but like i said if i half to add some wins to widen it, it's no biggie. the two traks i go to never ask me to ever pull the hood any how, they know me well enough. but vegas next year, can't say i know any of them.

Yep, belly pan must go rail to rail and have 2" lips. good way to add an aero treatment to your car at the same time, as all that flat surface kills drag.

I like the idea of improving the drag coeffecient but will those trays create lift at the front?
