That was a mess. We've been on some dew-slickened tracks so I know what a track like that looks, feels, and runs like. It wasn't the NHRA's fault, but they could have worked alot harder to put the show on, or the drivers could have just simply not raced, or just ran the 1/8 mile. Having been on that kind of surface, now granted we're nowhere near a PS car, it takes some creativity to get things hooked up down track. The PS cars are so aero-sensative, like they said on the show, a minute change in the back wing, upsets the balance and lifts the nose up too much. They don't have a front splitter than can add for front downforce or anything like that. They have the drag coefficient and area coverage so minimalized, a splitter would be the only way to fill in the balance.
We have a 1/2" or so wicker on our wing, and you can see it load the suspension on video. Alot of cars put spoilers on them with big differences in how sketchy they are. If it wasn't a pain to pull the 12 or so bolts that hold our wicker on, I'd have one more made for more downforce for those kinds of situations.
Anywho, that didn't look fun. Seems like the Semi's were the best prepped round.
