AeroRIDE

Have you ever wondered what all the big hype is all about when it comes to drivers, crews, and announcers always talking about the aerodynamics of the racecar and how it drastically impacts the performance of each car, at each track, each week?  Well, the A2 WIND TUNNEL, LLC invites you to experience, first hand, a genuine wind tunnel, and wants to help you understand why something you can’t see can make such a big impact on the performance of a racecar.  A2 engineers have devised a platform that will measure the aerodynamic drag of a person in the wind tunnel to illustrate just how much force can be seen on the human body…your human body.  If you thought sticking your hand out the window of your moving car gave you a good idea of how much strength the air could have, then you are in for an Eye Opening Experience!!!
