Even if aero doesn't come into play until after 100 mph - that's still the second half of the track for most everybody that's interested in it.


I use to go out to the SCTA (Bonniville top speed racers) races at El Mirage dry lake and talk to some of those racers, there thoughts that aerodynamics didn't come into play under 125 MPH on thier course, one mile running start and timed for a short distance after that At the Salt Flats the course was a lot longer and a lot of the racers would say that anybody can run 125 MPH, some can run 150 MPH and after that(150+ MPH) it is way better to reduce drag than to hop up the motor, they even siad that it took twice the HP to from 150 MPH to 175 MPH I know some formula one airplane racers that basically say the same thing, work on smoothing and reducing the aerodynamic drag to go faster above 150 MPH
