My idea: Towhooks can be used for drafting when you haven't got enough power
to keep up.

wrap the round portions of the hooks in fine copper wire. By passing
a current over wires, you will project a magnetic field in front of
the car whose lines of force wil deflect any ionized particles
approacing the lower bumper air intake.

This will work similarly to the eath's magnetic field deflecting the
solar wind and will reduce the aerodymanic drag of the vehile.

Also, by carefully tunning the aligment of the hooks, you can increase
the grip of the front tires by creating downforce on surfaces that
contain a heavy ammount of iron ore. This will allow the car to
corner faster.

This is really very scientifically perceptive. And I am sure the effects
are greatest for white Miatas, since it allows the hooks to operate in
a much higher photonic environment, increasing ionization.

That explains it. Someday soon now I will be fast enough that it gets
time to actually try to find a rule book to read it.

Now yer talkin'!

I'd rig the hooks to beam an EMP at the car in front of me, disabling
its ECU until I was past. Leon, put your students to work on the minor
details of this one...

My best thought was to paint them white.

I am obviously out of my league here, I will go back to chipping stone
for tools now.
