Wind tunnel time requested
I just emailed the Darko Technologies Wind Tunnel about reserving a time slot for testing.
The 2014 USFRA World of Speed is Sept. 6th-9th at Bonneville.I'd like to attend, as well as some of the IHPV speed competition at Battle Mountain,NV before going on to Carson city for a family visit.
Ogden is right on the way,so it makes better sense than the A2 tunnel in North Carolina.
I'll wait to hear back.
The truck is aging (as well as me) and getting a top speed isn't working out.
The curved walls and roof of the Darko Tunnel address how velocities/pressures can be impacted by a thickening boundary layer growing along the test section surfaces.
Anyway,if it works out,I'll finally have a Cd and we'll videotape the session with smoke for You-Tube.
The 18" Stinger is progressing well and I'll have a full 4-ft of boat tail at the time of testing,bringing the apparent frontal area in at less than 6.5-sq-ft,compared to almost 29 sq-ft 'naked.'
I'll check back when I know more.
