Thanks.
Geoff thought I ought to talk with his dad on the phone, but I figured his, and Mr. Romberg's time was too valuable to burn on the phone, and I could wait until I got there with Spirit and the newest mods before pestering them to death.
Geoff did share some extremely powerful info regarding A2, AeroDyne, and Windshear ( Gene Haas Racing ) collaboration studies, which I should leave to Geoff or Gary talk about, if willing, as I interpreted the data as confidential.

The Cd 0.09 WILL be an interesting 'story.'
During all the hoopla over Sunraycer, one automotive journalist mentioned that Sunraycer , with it's full wheel fairing package ( not raced with ), measured the lowest Cd ever experienced for a 4-wheeled vehicle, at Cal Tech's GALCIT tunnel (below Walter Korff's 'Goldenrod, Cd 0.1065 ), in the neighborhood of Cd 0.089. If factual, this would place Sunraycer below HONDA's 1993 Dream.
