just curious if you have ever done any wind tunnel testing to see if you could knock down some wind resistance, or ways to work on the best positioning during the runs. just wondering.

No wind tunnel testing. The drivers just try to get out of the airstream. I am sure there is something to be gained. On the asphalt, the speeds are much higher and no one has seen any particular body style that has more top speed. Peter
