Rex Svoboda's brand new streamliner sidecar. One of the last vehicles to test at the Darko Technologies Wind Tunnel. The wind tunnel will be closing soon. We have been given notice by the landlord that they are marketing the space to other interests. The building costs have been too high for us to remain in business. If you are planning to get into the wind tunnel, you can reserve a date in May and we should be able to help you. The sooner the better.

It has been a real pleasure helping so many racers go faster and safer.

A few more Knapp liner pics. Even at 34 feet long, it easily went into the wind tunnel. A thing of beauty.

Jim Knapp's first stop after picking up his newly acquired streamliner was at the Darko Wind Tunnel. He now knows exactly what he has and what is needed to reach his goals with this car. Go get 'em Jim!

Two-time Olympian (2010, 2014) Andrew Weibrecht came to the wind tunnel to work on his tuck position. Even with his years of experience, in the wind tunnel he still learned some valuable information for the season ahead. This coming February will bring the Winter Olympics in South Korea. Watch for Andrew to bring home more medals for the US.

It's hard to know how to improve when you don't know what's wrong. In the wind tunnel we discover what's wrong, how to fix it, and we prove it. The Kansas Twister lakester was a great example.

Youngbloods were back in the wind tunnel last week fine tuning the improvements we found a month ago. This car has made some great strides toward the 200 mph goal.
