I have always been skeptical of claims of laminar flow on vehicles, and this is another common consideration, but it seems that when the wind is legal for a speed record, the air might be still enough for some laminar flow.

Anybody trying for it will want to look at longboards for sanding - flexible, two-handed sanding blocks approaching a meter long.
