Great Stuff! I will try it and compare it to the calculations that I did on Jimmy McCune's Supermodified last year. Can you please continue and show how the wings effect down force on each wheel. Looking forward to your next installment.
I see new wings on the supers this year. Are they better? Are the simply a new requirement? Did someone experiment with it and prove it to be a better idea, so now everyone has them?
i like that car, just happens thats the car i used as my display picture on youtube, i took the picture at oswego last year, had to squish it together a bit to make it fit the requirements, nice video on the wing design,
These wing designs probably don't take into account stall. A supermodified can stall out just like a plane. In my opinion, those angles of attack are too steep to be functional. You're just using the air hitting the wing to produce downforce, not Bernoulli's principle. Never understood race car wing designers.
He's measuring lift, but when you flip it upside down you can expect the opposite. The pic of the car shows you he flipped it the right way. That part is pretty obvious.
@@JohnnieWalkerDread Haha, I get it, but I'm sure the folks watching this vid have a good idea. I think most would just scroll on by. They would be like WTF is this? This isn't a cat video...
@@JohnnieWalkerDread I'm assuming because simulations are a "perfect world scenario". They are never 100% accurate because of the uncontrollable environmental factors of racing around other cars and weather. Just a guide to get you in the ballpark.

Thanks for the video Jim!

how did you know to multiply Cl by 0.8 and Cd by 1.2 for the 3D effect . do you have any source that can support it?
Thnk you for your service kid

Dave, Jr is my cousin … I am a nephew or Dave Sr..
Your camber is upside down. The straight part of the wing should be on top. You're not trying to fly the super, but pin it to the ground.

@@mattbyrne4987 You would think he would mention it. Not everyone understands Bernoulli's Principle.

@@mattbyrne4987 True. True. I'm perplexed by his claim that the real downforce would only be 80% of that calculated by the simulation Why?
