So you changed oil on a dragster once and now you are a pro in aerodynamics? J/K

A quick google search came up with anywhere from 3500 to 7500lb downforce on a top fuel car wing. Elephants weigh up to 25,000lbs and average about 16,000lbs. So yes I guess it could be like an elephant sitting on the wing of a dragster...a very small elephant. So now lets scale up the 80 pounds of force on the buggy wing @ 70mph, it comes to 5120lbs at a scale speed of 560mph. Pretty low compared to the dragster. The math shows its plausible. Ill admit I was wrong. And no, im not traveling accross the country to drag race an RC car, however if you want to pay to send me, my doorslammer car and my 2 man crew down there to drag race against your similar street legal car I would be all over that! And no, putting a license plate on the back of a top fuel car does not mean it is street legal!
