wheel wells

Hucho gets into this in his book.I didn't bring mine to town so I'm worthless to you today.I would posit that since all the really low-drag concept cars utilize fully-enclosed ( double -enclosed with the Probe-IV ) wheels,then, that's where the real reductions are found.---------------- A "fixed",and even a 4-season movable skirt might pose challenges in the snow-belt and may not prove practical considering snow buildup and free motion of steering.Something to consider.
