Here are some photos taken across from the 1.24 Mile (2km) traps by Andy. Obviously there’s some hood deflection and fascia distortion at almost 189mph. Little things to work on! Thank you again so much Andy for this unique opportunity to see the aerodynamic forces on the car (and of course something to blow up and stick on a wall!)

WOW! 😊 There’s a lot of excitement on the Standing anything board. Just kidding.🤪
For you eagle eye viewers of the still photos (namely the first). You’ll notice what 189mph going into a headwind of about 20mph can do to stock Hellcat Aluminum hood. Take a close look-
Also notice the cars “Beak” is lifting up and I can only imagine what is going on with the cars Cd at this moment. Good thing is that the forward belly pan is staying in position but I do notice the car is lifting almost an inch from its ride height while the rear is dropping the same. This is on a car that is stock height too.
Just thought I’d share that with all of you for some food for thought. When I go to Maine I have some ideas I’d like to incorporate into the front along with the factory hood pins I’ll be installing ahead of time.
Now if they (hood pins) could only get here. I’ve been waiting almost two weeks for them to arrive so I can install them.
Once again thanks for taking these photos Andy.
