Thanks Bob! It's actually quite surreal.Like climbing a mountain.You're so busy getting to the summit that when you get there,you look around and realize you're there,but it doesn't really sink in 'til later.
I'm very pleased to have done it and made it home without major event,but without an actual top speed,I'm unsure as to what I actually accomplished.
I think the next stop should be North Carolina and the A2 Wind Tunnel.I could get a Cd from them and also blow smoke all over the rig and videograph it for YouTube.
After I know the actual Cd,I could think again about Bonneville,and what further lessons could be learned out there.
One thing is for sure,this has been the most outrageous physics course I've ever had! And driving around in a 91-year-old-design vehicle isn't so bad either!
