I am in the process of building a new stand for my dryer motors for my IBA. I have a setup with 4 motors. It looks like the preferred layout is to have the center dryers hit the car first followed by the side dryer fans. The way my motors are setup it would be much easier for me to have my side fans hit first followed by the top fans or all of them at the same time. Does anybody have this layout and does it seem to work OK for you?

I would assume the reason for having the top dryers first is that the water gets pushed down off the car. If the roof dryers are after the sides, water will be pushed off the roof onto the already dried parts.

I would suggest all of them on the same arch. That way you create a wall of air and are less likely to get water blowing back over an area that's already dry.
