I was up visiting Mayf here last week and he had finished the air Damn on
the Sunbeam... he has the Turbo's plumbed out the front of the air damn just
in front of the Front Wheel....

I was thinking that aerodynamically the air flow would be disturbed as the
exhaust gases would take on a Frontal area of thier own leaving the car...
and a rear facing exhaust has been pointed out to add VERY minimally to the
overall thrust of a car.... any thoughts on the subject?

Keith (happy to have Christmas here and also glad to see it go)
