I know the coast down test has been described before, but I found a reference that goes into detail into limiting error. I think the most valuable thing was that it described how to find the coefficient of rolling resistance, rather than just using an assumption based on weight and manufacturer's tire specs.

Good results on the wheel skirts, but lets get some testing to make sure they aren't just placebos.
