Aglet Racing, Formula 500 Team
The tilting ramp
I said I'd post some photos of the ramp when I got the chance. I just took some today while putting the car on the trailer for the Double Regional next weekend at Bremerton Raceway Park.
Here's the default position. As you can see, that ramp is a great big drag producer.
This is what it looks like with the ramp folded up. The info on the drag reduction is farther down the page.
If I really wanted to, I could put the nose on when towing to save room in the car. But I really don't want the moron in the car behind me having that as the first thing to hit.
just a couple of photos
All of these were taken at an autocross at Bremerton Raceway Park last year.
The next to last one is one of my favorites. It shows how small the car is as well as how loud it is.
The last photo was taken at the WWSCC Enduro event last year. And no, I didn't knock all those cones down. :)
The life and times of a rookie Formula 500 owner. OK, team is a little over the top, I'm the owner, driver, chief mechanic, head beancounter and everything else. Wondering what Aglet is? It's the plastic or metal thingy on the end of a shoelace. Motto, "Not even a shoestring budget." Used to be hosted on modblog, but they turned to caca...
