We used sanding belts and slid a section of formica or masonite a bit longer than half the length of the belt. Making in effect a bow. Sanding is done fore and aft using the open side. It works good with two people. Start with 36 grit and work toward finer. Belts can be gotten from Mcmaster for a good price.

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.
