I want to say a big "thank you" to everyone who voted, and those that voted for the Insight Tail Extension Project.

Thanks to BicycleBob for being the first to point out this site to me during a conversation on motorcycle aerodynamics.

Thanks to Mike from Aerocivic for posting an unbelievable transformation to his car to get higher mileage than factory cars.

AeroHead for the inspiration of how to make aerodynamics work for all of us!

A big thanks to MetroMPG for the exciting tail extension project in 2009. I know I've mentioned this before, but the hard-mounted video-cam idea was so clever in it's simplicity!

And finally, and big thanks to all who have contributed to this forum with your creativity and positive energy in all your varying projects.

Thanks to each and everyone of you for your contributions! The Insight Tail came about because of all your inputs!

Jim.

Geez, just like Emmy/Grammy/Nobel speeches. Jim, are you training for one of those?

Perhaps we could all contribute to its success - spread the good word a bit?
Create a bit of ad revenue at least?
