    You'd legitimately be amazed how much the draft can do at even reasonably low speeds. Even in our Prelude road course car being behind someone can be good for a few hundred extra RPMs on relatively short straights. Judging off the footage it looks like the middle lane is the place to be. Carries the momentum on exit and should be easier on those right fronts.

    • @MsLoneWolf4
      @MsLoneWolf4 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Draft works at 55 mph, behind semi rigs there is a spot where you will the feel the car bounce around being buffeted, pull closer by a car length with plenty left behind you and there you are in the pocket. Great for extending fuel range for couple miles.

After a few years, cars, jobs, and blown motors, today I can’t make it to the event because I’m going to an auto cross in my built evo an hour out of town. I don’t think you got me in to cars, but damn y’all kept me going through the bad times with them. That’s racing though. Crazy that we’re in the same town today flooring it and doing something cool.
