As those of us from the North East would say, "That's wicked cool!"

Rest In Peace, old friend, your work is finished.....
If you want ON or OFF the DIESEL ”KnOcK” LIST just FReepmail me.....
This is a fairly HIGH VOLUME ping list on some days.....
Barf...
I wouldn’t watch those race at gunpoint...
...not for Indy
i bet that rear wheel would tend to lift inside of turns... if the wide apart wheels were in front, it would be more stable in turns...
I can see it now, the cars go screaming into turn one and every one of them keeps going straight. There’s no way that thing could make a high speed turn.
Rear is wider than the front. Isn’t that a safety concern? You pass the car in front of you, close, and then your rear hits his car because the rear is wider.
Also, I agree with camle that it may have problems in the corners. However, it would be interesting to see this thing doing test laps.
Finish out those fenders and you could have both an IRL and a NASCAR version.
Yuck. Gives new meaning to the term Fugly.
Not a Nascar, more like, “something wicked this way comes!”...wow!
Pretty soon you’ll be saying “That’s sick” as our California teenagers do.
It resembles two Land Speed Record cars from the 1960’s - the Summers’ Brothers Goldenrod in the front, and Breedlove’s Spirit of America from the windscreen back. So it should be fast in a straight line. When wind is blowing across the track, as it does at Indianapolis, that rear fin would be detrimental. It also produces unnecessary drag. As do those sidepods. But as a styling exercise, it does look cool.
I would like to try a theory of aeronautical principles of creating an artificial "supercavitaion" of the surface area immediately in front of a vehicle, possible utilizing sonic wave emitters set at a certain frequency to create a dead air space. Bicyclists have reached over 100 mph by being in the slipstream behind a railway passenger coach decades ago, and of course we all know what "drafting" is in Nascar. The latest high speed underwater missile/torpedoes use the effect of turning the area ahead into steam to reduce the effects of drag. In theory air molecules could be "shoved" aside like a wedge by sound.Complete and utter total disaster. Nothing at all indicating that there may be an internal combustion engine powering the thing. I suppose that is the point.
I long for the old days when there were many different builders and cars.
Green credentials huh? BARF. Perhaps you can cap and trade seconds off your lap time if you have X number of solar cells. Or if you don’t spin the tires the entire race, or for not making “jackrabbit starts”. What, now even MOTOR racing has to appeal to women?
I wouldn’t watch that global citizen crap for anything.
Supposed to be the Indianapolis 500.
As in almost everything, excessive rules and regulations makes for boredom and destroys the spirit of adventure and achievement.
