After more thought on the subject I am changing my stance on the lowly dimple.
I think there is a better "design" then the Dimple somewhere out there.,It dawned on me the dimple is being used on spinning round balls with success but remember.. the car is not spinning , even if a model was to mostly round.

To clarify my point I included the below information for consideration.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Golf Ball Spin Rate

A golf ball's spin rate -- refers to the speed that it spins on its axis while in flight. It is measured in revolutions per minute (rpm). The spin rate off a driver generally ranges between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm, while the average, cleanly struck wedge shot spins at about 10,000 rpm.

The golf ball spin generates lift, thus a shot's spin rate directly influences how high the ball flies and how quickly it stops after landing.
