Comp Plus has posted that a major T/F team is removing the canopy from their car. Reason: too much weight. Car should be racing this weekend without the canopy. I would guess it's the Force team. I don't see DSR who developed the canopy would take it off.
iam with you.its more about clutches than wight .iam shocked that john would let grubby take it off,that car was fast with alan johnson and crewBlows my mind that a car with 10-11,000 HP is affected by that small amount of weight. I think they add 20-25 pounds? But, I guess that’s why I’m not a high priced tuner, lol.
Plus the lip at the top adds drag and downforce at that spot?
Only reason I would go with Brittany’s car is because Mike Green had plenty of successs with Tony Schumacher’s canopy.Austin Prock is my guess. They had the canopy out of the car on Sunday afternoon, I assumed it was just for routine maintenance and it may have been.
Maybe its a trial run??I AGREE...THINK ITS FORCE....BUT....FOR AS MUCH AS JOHN IS INTO SAFETY WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED...IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE....I WOULD PREFER THE CANOPY....HELL....I COULD STAND TO LOOSE 20 POUNDS ANYWAYS....JUST SAYIN....
The added weight is in the exact wrong spot and affects the chassis arch.
The lip is there because without, air would go straight into the injector giving those cars an advantage.Plus the lip at the top adds drag and downforce at that spot?
