Keith,
After all our jawing and joking about dimple tape
last week, your belly pan question got me
thinking=(DANGER! Danger, Will Robinson!) Do I
have this backwards or is this a valid theory?
If the entire belly pan was dimpled, and the top
of the car was smooth, there would be less drag
on the belly pan than on the top of the car,
mimicking the same effect as more air flow under
the car, resulting in an effect like an upside
down wing - which would add downforce as speed
increased. Or did I get that backwards, and the
car would take off like a frizzbie?
