Coastdown drag race!

[Wonderboy]

The first picture is the beginning of the race, the second is the end. The coast was from 80km/h to 40 km/h. I'll let the pictures do rest of the talking

And your window was open a crack, isn't that a handicap?

[SVOboy]

You cheated.

Please, don't insult him any more than the results have - he's very sensitive about this!

You cheated.

Nuh uh! I beat him fair and square with my window cracked and a camera in hand.

curb weight of civic = 2445 lbs
curb weight of blackfly = 1830 lbs

For a given amount of drag, a heavier vehicle will coast farther.

[SVOboy]

I still call cheats.

Mmmmph... you and your

science

.

Is there any way to accurately handicap something like this with the science and maths? (weight/distance?) With a right-sized motor/trans, could weight be advantageous in this respect?
