Multi-Car Wind Tunnel Simulation

Did you ever do tunnel tests with more than one car to see how the car in front of you would affect the way the air came into the cow? most miserable night of my life. We had this kid that worked at the shop. He helped on the pit crew. His name was Dog Boy. And so Andy gets Dog Boy because it was John Andred's car and we had the 15 car in front and we had Andreddy's uh one of the cars he was I think it was the Coca-Cola car or something, you know, the maroon one in the back. So, we were going to take Dog Boy to the wind tunnel and we had the front car 15 car tied down and ready car you'd sit it you'd sit in the car during the matrix and you let your foot off the brake and it was on a winch you winch cable and it would just let the car go back about 30 ft and then you stop the test. You bring it move it over a foot. You bring it up. We were trying to find where the sweet spot was behind the other behind the other car. Well, Dog Boy weighed I don't know like 110 pounds. about the same size as John and he couldn't make it to the wind tunnel and I found out the last minute I had to sit in that car for 12 hours. Obviously I'm a little bit larger than Mr. And Freddy and that was like terrible. I had to drive the car with a pair of vice grips on the because the steering I couldn't get steering wheel on. So it was a moving road situation. Well you had to sit in the car and you had to steer it backwards. Oh cuz the it was trying to turn itself. Yeah. You had to steer it backwards and then when you push it back forward you had to turn it and you know go up on we laid out all these lines on the floor. So you'd pull it up go over a foot pull it go back pull it up go over you know then we do the same thing from center and go the other way. I mean it was all night long. I think each I think each evolution, you know, as the car went back, I think I think it was like 30 minutes and then they started wanting to do like midc corner attitudes and all this other stuff and it turned into like a 12hour in this like car seat like it seat was like that big. How much of a difference did the position of the car make on the air going into the cow? A lot. I mean, I I
