Got undertray? Wheel fairings?

PS: Do the rules require the drag bar to have a wheel on each side, or could you make a presumably lighter drag bar by tapering to just one centerline wheel, perhaps a bit further back? That would make a nice frame for a teardrop boat tail, while still doing its drag bar function.
you have to be able to drive the car around the pits,,into staging lane's etc,,,Can't block the steering with covers
