THINGS THAT GO VROOM

WAGON POLL

April 28, 2009 by Troy 5 Comments

So, do I leave the roof rack on the race car???  Let me know what you think.

UPDATE:  The rack weighs 15 lbs!!! And the roof trim underneath weighs another 3 lbs. Regardless of the drag issue, the rack goes. But I think I’ll keep the roof trim, it just looks too cool to get rid of. I’ll keep the rack to bring my surfboard along to the track however ;-)

    Carbon Fiber surf-wing, I love it. I think the kids strapped into the back seats will drive the scrutineers crazy as well!

    You know where I stand, DRAG!! get’er off! (unless you want to bolt a surfboard on and then you have to leave it. Make the board Carbon Fiber and drive the Tech-weenies absolutely nuts, call it a wing!!)

    Have fun,

    ABSOLUTELY! Leave the luggage rack. No one else has the guts to do it.

    My vote is to take it off. The wagon body is already a statement.

    I don’t know, the racer in me says get rid of it. But the enthusiast side of me says leave it up — it adds character.
