Stretching

The 2009 effort will involve a complete update of the current LSR kneeler. As you can see from the picture above we have chopped the chassis and are stretching it 42". This will also involve new bodywork and a switch to a water to water cooling system to eliminate the radiators as they account for a horrific amount of drag. With the radiators out of the picture our frontal area is reduced by 1.3 Sq. Ft. Having missed out on the 'Special construction partial streamlining' record three years in a row by only 2-3 mph I am fairly confident this reduction will put us over the top.
