so we put a hamburger on the rear wing of my fc and it stayed on the car up to about 80mph. my question is this: did it stay on because theres no air flow over the wing making it suck, or did it stay because of the cooefcient of friction of the burger and the down force on the wing?

was there lettuce and tomatoe? If so, the lettuce and tomatoe usually are slippery when next to each other on the burger stack. So, if it indeed had the veggies, and there was much airflow, than at least the top half of the burger would have slid off.



my point being, the whether or not it had veggies would answer your airflow vs. friction question



if no veggies, question still stands

Ah, I think it stayed because the greasy **** burger joints make plasters itself to the wing downforce or not. But combining the DF and the Grease will make it stick better.

But wouldn't the cheese hold all that in place if it was indeed between the lettuce and tomatoe?

who the hell puts the cheese between the veggies?? you put the cheese on the patty, so it will melt properly. Unless the burger builder just uptarded the process.

It is due ot the aerdynamic efficiencyl of the burger, the multiple layers of cheese and lettuce allow air to pass through. LOL

Was the bottom bun all sloppy? A little bit a moisture would make it stick, too much would make it slippery.

UniqueTII: So are you saying there was cheese holding your cell phone on your car?
