Nice centerfold Maximum Motorsports Poster on Page 75.

Great feature article on Corey Weber's (our 2007 Nationals Texas Corral neighbor) Agent 47 AIX ride on Page 152!!!

My favorite part about the Agent 47 article is regarding Corey Weber's wing:

"The trunk lid is hinged at the front, but the back two feet of the trusses rest on pressure transducers, which are wired to a display in the cockpit. Thus, the rear wing trunk lid assembly strains downward onto the transducers so Corey can read out the downforce the wind is producing at any time. It's backed up by a telltale feature that captures the highest reading should Corey's vision be otherwise engaged at the critical moment...which, let's hope, is most of the time. It's neat, lab-like trickery and more technical than the method used to set the wing height in the first place. That was done by fitting an old trunk lid to the car, cutting approximately a 4" hole in its top, stuffing Corey underneath in the trunk, then having his partner drive the car up and down the street while Corey stuck his hand and arm up into the slipstream until he could sense passing through the dead air layer and into the high-velocity slipstream. The team says the downforce reading system is useful in setting the wing angle and locating the vortex generators."

It ain't computer simulation, but is sure is cool old fashioned American Iron engineering!!! :lol:

Agent 47 will be a force in AIX once the rookie stripes are long gone.
