Hey Random, I notice that in some of your runs you are racing with your sunroof vented. Did you find this impacting your top speed much? Although it's not a HUGE cause of wind resistance, I wonder if you noticed a difference between runs with it vented and runs with it closed?

Random, if you don't get it digitized by your friend, send it to me. I have all the equipment to do it on my computer.

No...no difference really. In some of the runs my drivers side window was down as well. It was rather warm, but then there was the dust. It was really a "no win" situation trying to cool off...Either your windows were open, and you got dusted/sanded, or your AC was on and you lost power...or you got OUT of your car and got dusted/sanded...

Oh, as I don't have a helmet either have you been able to come up with anymore? Or can they be acquired at the track?
