Paul - It sounds like you need some good news. The Mazda powered LMP2 car
won it's
class at Mid Ohio (American Le Mans Series) even tho he had to sit out the
last few
laps in a "sand trap" (he had enough laps completed). For my info - what
defines the LMP2
all I could bring up was it was lighter and less powerful than the LMP1
prototype class.

We sure and heck do need some good news. I also need to be saved
from  a certain person on here :) Can you do me a favor and plot
the pitch attitude angle of a canard type aircraft as a function of
air speed and decent rate. Both Klaus and I agree it is around
3 degrees but I was wondering how that number changes with drag.

BTW have you checked out our new web site below? Some
of the videos on there are just great.

To answer your question I have no idea as I don't keep up
with racing now. My son has the speed channel up at the hangar
but I don't get up there often enough.
