MotorSports Innovations -- Air/Fuel Meter and Data Logging -- I bought an Innovate Motorsports LM-1 air/fuel sensor and controller along with 5 channels of data logging capabilities from MotorSports Innovations. I will use this when I put the turbo on my lakester motor for sure and probably before. Right now I use it to tune my truck and we use it on Hooley's Stude. Last year (2005) we alos data logged the TPS (throttle position sensor) and this year Hooley bought the LMA-3 "AUXBOX" that will also let us data log the RPM, boost, EGT and either fuel pressure or acceleration on our runs along with the air/fuel and TPS. This is a great combination. If you go this way be sure to give Greg at MotorSports Innovations a call at 609/265-2110 and order from him. Mention you are a bonneville racer and he will probably help you out a little. He is also involved with John Burk's streamliner. Check out the other products he has also.

Also calculated is the horsepower loss due to rolling friction from a given vehicle weight and speed. Also lots of other interactive spread sheets.

AERODYNAMICS. -- TONY FOALE 1986 - 1997 -- Articles on aerodynamics usually concern themselves with extolling the virtues of low drag and the accompanying effects on performance and fuel economy. But the creation of slippery motorcycles is probably the easy bit. In common with all medium to high speed vehicles the effects of wind pressure.......

This reduces drag because this turbulence keeps the flowing air closer to the body than if it wasn't there, therefore reducing profile drag.", the Rev. H+.

X-Stream Wind Tunnel -- Go high-tech with your technology and science curricula with the adjustable speed, quiet-as-a-breeze wind tunnel from Pitsco.

Note: If you are interested in aerodynamics as applied to a race car I would strongly recommend the following three books:

1. New Directions in RACE CAR AERODYNAMICS (Designing for Speed) by Joseph Katz. I just got this book, but after looking through it briefly if you were to only buy one of these three books, I would recommend this one. It is $34.95 and the ISBN is 0-8376-0142-8.

2. AERODYNAMICS for Racing and Performance Cars by Forces Aird. It is an HP book and is a good overview of aerodynamics and presents views on aero issues without a lot of formulas and such. It was $16.95 when I bought it and the ISBN is 1-55788-267-3.

3. THE LEADING EDGE Aerodynamic Design of Ultra-streamline Land Vehicles by Goro Tamai. It summarizes the design and construction issues of solar cars and ultra light land vehicles. This book is heavy into the design of ultra streamline solar cars, but the principals can be applied to any race car. It is much more in debt and a lot heavier into math than the AERODYNAMICS book, but I feel a lot better book if you can wade through it. It covers aero issues to the smallest degree. If you really are building a streamliner, lakester or competition coupe I would strongly recommend it. Not cheap at $44.95, but that might be a small price to pay to build a body maybe just once and get it as close as you can to ideal. The ISBN is 0-8376-0860-0.

4. Vehicle Aerodynamics Recent Progress SAE-855 -- Made up of various SAE papers. The ISBN is 1-56091-119-0
