I wonder if anyone on the PAC has any clue about aero when they say stuff like this:
"Ground effect tunnels and/or attempts to gain ground effects are also not authorized."

even a flat plate next to the ground is by definition "in ground effect". That wording effectively prohibits every single car in existence save for a couple high ground clearance off road trucks.

Would "attempts to gain ground effects" prohibit adding rake to your setup?

or lower the car from stock ride height.

More from the PAC,

"The location, number, and shape of vents/louvers is unrestricted provided they are fully contained on allowed panels. For vehicles having original vents/louvers exceeding these dimensions, no further openings are permitted."

How can a OE opening exceed unrestricted!? They should remove the unrestricted and mention the restriction mentioned elsewhere, or better yet, put it all together in one paragraph.

Pickup trucks in SM?

Hmmm... how hard would it be to get 500 pounds out of my S-Runner? }:)

One could make a big dent in that weight reduction by exiting the drivers seat!

SM pick-ups! Awesome.

THAT is way cool! Remember the NASCAR-chassis'd pick-up that was here last year with 3 racing seats replacing the bench seat?

The Vetruck... probably a little heavy to be competitive, but it sure would be fun to watch. ;)
I just worked with Dean this past weekend and he drove it out to the track Sunday morning.

Dean needs to work out to muscle that truck around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juFg156qz_U" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :gpower:
