Wind tunnel Research today!

Quote from Dave@DDMWorks

Long day! We thought we were only going to be there for a couple hours, but ended up spending about 3.5 hours testing a lot of different setups to start to get a baseline on the Slingshot and what was making changes. Definitely looking forward to going back for some more testing with some more prototypes. We did end up with some changes we will be running in the 1/2 mile event and also some changes for the road courses! Jeff up at A2 is great to work with, it was really a great experience!

Some more pics from the experience:

I believe that there would be some very positive data if he did!

He doesn't? Damn.. that's on my next mod list. On the trip to Sundre, I had my Meansling bags on the roll hoops and had a lot of wind noise and buffeting to my right ear (Madstad 9" windshield). I took the bags off and the problem went away. Put them back on and it came back. I held up a piece of plastic and the wind was coming between the bags from behind! I wouldn't have expected that with the Madstad.

In speaking of the wind tunnel, I just picked up one of the empty sand bags off of the highway. With the Fab Factory top on I just turned it lose in the cockpit at 60 mph and it just ran around in circles in the cockpit.

Dave, I hope you found some extra areas that will help in the event next month. I have it from a reliable source, that there was a certain HONDA out testing as well today. It looks like he was in stealth mode too

Any updates Dave@DDMWorks ?
