Dan,
Thanks for the info. My biggest problem seems to be that I don't yet have
a SCTA rule book, a problem I intend to remedy very soon. From what I read
in the ECTA rules a step pan seems to be just what I had in mind. I was
just kidding around with John about the belly pan rules, but the step pan is
an interesting idea when the car's in Altered trim. With a brick like the
USS Wankel I've found that every little bit of streamlining has added to the
top speed...but it's still a brick.
For those list members who had mentioned their weather. How'd you like to
go from checking your mailbox in bare feet and shorts to snow and freezing
rain in just a week?
Next week it'll probably be hot and sunny again.
