Still data-mining

No great news or anything.
I continue to data mine the logbook entries,internet, and rats nest for comparative data.
I have little confidence that with all the variables associated with actual on-road testing I'll ever be able to actually 'nail' any hard numbers to the trailer.
I have re-discovered some articles and SAE papers and will continue to digest everything.
Day by day I have a growing appreciation for the efficiency of a full-scale wind tunnel and modern CFD.
I will do the higher speed wheel-bearing temperature testing before the year's out.
If I can get the confidence that I won't be spin-welding the Timkens,I'll drag Viking down the highway at speeds for which I have a larger database.
Now where did I lay that pyrometer......................................... ...............
