When I ran shortcourse, I found that the only place I needed opened was the back of the roofline. This allowed all of the air that went under the body to escape and stop the parachute effect. There was an outdoor track we were racing at and it had a strong headwind on their biggest jump. I took the dremel to the rear of the roof line and I was the only sc truck able to make the big jump. Some bodies have 20 or so vents and in my opinion only 1 or 2 strategicly placed ones are all you need.

The philosophy of the Diamondback airflow system is derived from the phenomenon described by alvinsmith75 in his post. Its apparent from observing the general shape of SC bodies that the highest point during flight--the back of the cab--is where air will tend to collect. So we put a big vent there. Additionally, it seems clear at this point that venting around the front of the windshield is also very important, and testing has shown that a good cowl vent can make a big difference. So we put a huge cowl vent there. In testing, all of this worked out really well in terms of performance and durability. It also allowed us to meet one of our project goals of reducing the amount of time required to get the body ready to mount by proving a few strategically placed vents rather than a multitude of small cutouts. Recognizing that some may still want even more ventilation than the large cowl and roof vents, we provided cutlines for additional cutouts in the roll-cage area. I attached a photo to help illustrate.

Diamonback body looks sweet! Also like the simple airflow system, not having the body look like swiss cheese. May have to order one or two. One for me and one for my son.
