I'll take it running correctly and no mechanicals for two straight weeks over downforce,just say'n.
The HST was also used to pre-run the BAJA 500, till Robby broke it.

That explains it. Crossed my mind when Dave asked about air intake position helping downforce.

Didn't the HST have an adjustable spoiler for downforceinI it's early incarnation? Is that still there?

A question for you guys who know waaayyy more than I . Seriously, why wouldn't you put the scoop in the vary back of the truk where the rear wing is? My thoughts are that it would add down force wile collecting air? No?

@Mike, that was my second question. First one was the cooling system.102 degree's of temp all the way to 111 by this Weekend should help with testing.

How about a shitty fuel test?

I'm glad to see them going to the Dakar 2015.

We need the elevation test. Can that be done in Parker, don't think so!
