I need some free advice...
I'm a newbie running a Swift DB-3 in the SW Division. Open FC class only, no CFC. I'm getting stomped by the newer cars on a regular basis and if I wasn't so damn cocky (just ask my in-laws) I might even get depressed...
Two questions...
I saw a post from "the frog" some time ago that correlated the CFC class performance versus the newer cars in the SE. It was something like 1.5 -2.5 seconds per mile that the older cars were giving up to the late models. Can you throw that number out again? It will either inspire me or depress me. I'm willing to take the risk...
My car has never had a diffuser of any kind. It is my feeling that this could substantially assist in my efforts to climb the ranks here in the SW. Does anyone sell them, build them, or should I make one myself? Aluminum or composite? Most of the new cars have composite trays, but I've seen aluminum trays as well. (As one who tends to do a bit of agricultural driving, aluminum seems like the way to go) What type of set up changes will be required by adding the diffuser? Do the CFC rules in the SE allow for a diffusor? (My folks live in Hotlanta so I'm toying with the idea of making the tow for a late summer race)
All advice is appreciated. Accurate advice is appreciated the most...
