We attempt to work out the coefficient of drag on a boring sunday afternoon

well from all your work, the result is accurate enough. A number of teams had gotten .42 and .41 coefficients earlier this season. We did a wind-tunnel test and got .415.

Oh really? We searched all over and couldn't find a thread where someone had already figured that out. Oh well, it was fun. Also, its nice to know that our redneck macguyver answer was close to the actual answer.

I just search CD for Coefficent of Drag and found this thread, but it's good to know that your methods work!
