There was a good post on this subject a few weeks ago on Yellowbullet right after the car left the track killing the driver and injuring the photographer. Maybe down the road we may see something done and I too think it needs addressed. It may take NHRA requiring it to move along faster.


NASCAR has "roof flaps" and hood flaps as well now. You'd think those cars could have something in the floor that opens up. that would keep the car from acting like a wing...if you break the airflow under the car it won't lift so much.
