[edit] Ground Effects

Since ground effect is all about creating a low pressure zone under the car, isn't the purpose of the skirts to stop air leaking in? i.e. The statement that "It also had ground effect skirts to keep air from leaking out..." is wrong.

[edit] Clean-Up

This article needs a lot of expansion. Seems to me the Chaparral had an automatic transmission also, something unheard of at the time.

[edit] Toy cars

The 2F was one of the original cars in Aurora Plastics Corporation's XLerators slotless racetrack sets. The other car was a J3. Aurora also used these cars in their earlier slot car product line. http://members.aol.com/hifisapien/aurora.htm
