Wholey ****e! That is REALLY cool!
I didn't know such a class existed - what an awesome idea!
Alrighty then; I stand very corrected - with a vehicle like THAT to wrap around the power plant. My numbers were merely for standard vehicles with standard frontal areas and standard Cd's.
With an open mind like that, there's a world of possibility. I'd love to keep in touch and see how the challenge went.

I'll start with a simple EV conversion; ultimately, with a 2nd MGR, I'd like to run a reverse tricycle belly-tank in the 130mph Club—probably the only class that would accept such a curious beast.
Here it is, dragging a fourth wheel to try to fit in better.
