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

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