Moving road? They don't even discount the first hour?

I'm going to be in Wendover next weekend. BTW I posted this as an edit to another thread, but you might not notice since that didn't bump the thread. Here's CFD analysis of Bucky's Dymaxion

Edit: OK, I looked. No road, good for 1/3 scale models.

Too bad $500 is the value of most of the cars belonging to EcoModders who would be interested in testing them!
