Has anyone raced their eco-modded car?

With all of the aero work that goes into some of the cars on this site I'm curious how well the low cd would translate for an event like the Silver State Classic or BBORR (Big Bend Open Road Race).
Participating in one of those is on my bucket list.

They're not really "races" per se, more of a high speed TSD Rally. You enter a class which has a target speed and the one who comes the closest to that speed over the 90 miles, or however long the course is, wins. Super accurate and precise gauges and instrumentation are a definite advantage.

I'd be very interested to see what kind of mpg one could achieve at 95+ mph over 90+ miles.
