    Nice vids!

    Except for the Envied vs you. Can't really see the boards. what were the times on that one. Looked like he got the jump on you off the line. did you run him down?

    lol it's a west coast trend. I don't think it makes a difference but we like to think it does.

    That's actually a good question. Mirrors contribute a huge amount of aerodynamic drag. I seem to remember numbers like 3% to 6%. (Might be a little less in the case of a Jeep since it's shaped like a brick.) and I think those numbers are at speeds around 60 mph. Drag increases much faster than linear with speed. So at 100 mph it could be very significant. Since you're accelerating through the quarter mile the difference probably wouldn't be measurable in the first 1/8 but probably so in the last 1/8 and certainly at the end. I assume they don't allow you to turn in both mirrors?

    haha, throw the seats out to get you off the line and turn the mirrors in to get you through the traps.

    Yep, It's a West Coast thing to help make up for the bad air. And you can turn both in.
    With the GC's aerodynamics, you take any advantage you can.

    Thanks!

    Maybe you'll like the songs in some other videos...many think it's boring and plain with no music....I make sure the engine can be heard though
