You could attract ricers and local drag racers, as well as mom and pop for the 'gee whiz' factor. It would help educate the public on the importance of aerodynamics in relation to FE.

*Deeply discounted for active EcoModder members, of course.
Great idea! From free-thinking ( "why not"). One tiny problem...who pays for all this? And, who insures this project?
