I guess you don't practice what you preach. Does the track you go to give you a handicap?
I know I said I was done, but REALLY??? A lame attempt at a fat joke??? What is this junior high???

You could have just asked if I was fat, I'm not ashamed...

And those skate shoes arent proper track day footwear either.
As a point of fact, actually yes the lip does help. The most basic way to make downforce (nascar) is to allow as little air as possible under the car and allow a large area under the car for that small amount of air to expand into. This creates a high pressure area on top of the bodywork and a low pressure area under the car. The difference in those pressures is downforce. Granted that lip with no sideskirts or spoiler isn't going to make hardly any downforce and that was absolutely not the primary point of running it.

I've got sparco race shoes now, I'm mad proper yO!!! They've even been properly sitting on a shelf un-used since 2009! Kids have been a brick fucking wall to my motorsports obsession, worth it, but a TOTAL wall...
