If anyone has been following what is happening in the Aerodynamics section, you will know that I did coast-down testing on Ecoscort. How did it do?

Using an Excel sheet and directions from Instrucables.com, I determined that my coefficient of drag is down to 0.269 and my coefficient of rolling resistance is 0.01. Pretty swell numbers for a car that started out with a Cd of 0.33 and has Chinese tires

I almost have the rough draft of the front fender skirts complete! Very excited to see how they perform I should have them on the car tomorrow morning... if i can get out of bed early enough

Wheel covers will be going back on as well.
