Re: Ground Effects...Legal...Helpful?

This post by Bill Miller (FRC Director) indicates it's probably a Bad Idea. There was another post on CD with more of the physics, but suffice to say that you're begging for field damage.

But yes, before I found out the harsh realities of physics, I thought a lot about it.
