Aero Testing the 1973 Mopar Missile Drag Racing Car (Plymouth Duster)
Aero Testing the Mopar Missile



Quote:
The Chrysler drag race group had a very limited budget. The renting of a full size wind tunnel, if it was available, was
out of the question. They had to do it the old fashion way, taping cotton tufts to the car, then using a chase car with
the racer traveling at high speed passing the chase car.
What the heck?

There are about a dozen photos of the front, and not one of the rear where drag is created.

Maybe they were just testing the hood scoop?
