Ages ago when I was still a grease monkey I read a bunch about cars like the Chaparral 2J and recall something about the car leaving a horrible mess in its wake. The car was effectively a giant few-hundred-HP vacuum cleaner with no bag, blowing everything it sucked up straight out the back at anyone following. These were open cockpit Can-Am cars, I'm sure that was pleasant.
