preliminary look at 999's spoiler

* On the light-table, I overlaid the image of the 999 image, comparing it to ten of my contours.
* POPULAR MECHANICS Magazine had an X-Ray image of the Bonneville spoiler. It is a 'level', 10-inch extension off the decklid, parallel to the upper edge of its capping plates.
*As shown, the trailing edge of the spoiler is an exact fit to the 2013 AST, with an imaginary flow line exiting the spoiler at 14-degrees below the horizon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* This photo of 999 does not represent its 2-inch ground clearance, as raced.
* Nor does it indicate the MOON Equipment's convex wheel covers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* I finally got dimensions for the car this morning for the dimensional analysis.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Also, in their report on the 187.607-mph, 2013, Jetta Hybrid LSR car, Volkswagen AG provided enough information from which to reverse-engineer the air density at Bonneville, which will help estimate the 999's dynamics.
