Chuck the Side Dams (Wings) on those cars fold down at speed to give then a lot of downforce, combined with the shape of the body creating a negative pressure under the cars act like a VACUUM

It's a far cry from the early 60s but it is nice to see that they still come off on the corners.
It was lotsa fun, especially building the cars with no money and no tooling and limited skills.
