I guess it worked pretty well cuz you were certainly laying down fast laps.

Good to see you guys out there. We need to run the same tracks more often.

Yep, and they took a ton of photos of all of it after that session. I love being their 150mph test mule...But yes, it did work and we were able to go two seconds faster than we ever had previously. Not all in the roof, but it made up for all of the frontal area we added by widening the front end. Data shows we kept our previous top speed up without adding any horsepower. That's not bad when adding 2'' to the front end and increasing front tires from 250 to 280's.

Good to see you guys out there!
