Yep - the light wind day suited the ram airs, but Steph Bridge did well on a Dyno. But yes, it looks like it will go this way in light wind (and maybe strong wind too).

Apparently Ya didn't see the smile on the end of that quote ; indicating that
maybe, just Maybe, (that was a Joke) Or that i was being Cynical ?
And
i learn , (every day) --- just how fricken Simple-Minded, some people can be
on forums. Hate to say it, but i fit in that category sometimes ; seems to have
something to do with how much coffee i had , before posting !

It's a Ram-Air, that has the current Land world speed record ; nothing else has
come close !!
Where's Billy B ; we had Pages of argument on That one already .
But a record is a Record ; don't like it, then "Try" and take it away (.)

Not an attack B, just want to point out that I think that is a weak argument... by way of analogy.
The world land speed record is by a jet engined car... but nobody wants to drive one of those to work every day.

You need to stop this miss use of photo editing tools!!!! It's killing your credibility and expert opinion regarding ram airs.

Freely quoting pmu. Ram air lovers are unsosial kooks. So tricks like that are expected when above ra..cers try to prove ram air superior.
Wait! What does the result lists say?
