KB,I did want to mention that these data reflect no attempt to clean up the wheel drag itself.
In 'race' form.GM's Solaraycer had Cd 0.12,@ 89% 'Template.' In the wind tunnel,with the wheel skirts in place the car recorded Cd 0.089.
NUNA-3 has come in @ Cd 0.077.
So it looks like there's still food on the plate
