hey, I noticed the day went to st thomas(when my clutch exploded :rolleyes: )you removed your drivers side headlight. Do you always remove your headlight?

I tried pulling my headlight for a couple runs the last time I went to the track, and I lost like 4 mph!!! my 60 ft times were identical and 1/4 mile times were still pretty close(about 1 tenth slower with the headlight out), but at the end, my mph dropped drastically....I guess because of aerodynamics...or maybe it didnt like the air turbulance. anyone else tried this?

there would be aero dynamic issues involved with this. But is the power gains enough to balance out the loss in curvature of the front end? I guess only repeated testing can show if it does or not. In a situation with a tail wind I could see it helping (aerodynamacy playing a lesser role in the front) But with a headwind, it could very well work against you...
