The British magazine Custom Car has reported that whilst over here in the
UK the Thacker & Shine street roadster was put into the full size wind
tunnel at MIRA (Motor Industry Research Association), Nuneaton, England.
With the testing overseen by Tony Thacker and Peter Stevens (MG Rover
designer and Bonneville nut).it would appear that perhaps some improvements
could be made to a car that runs in one of the more regulated classes.
No results or outcome were diviluged in the magazine, but the aero
improvements may become clear at the World Finals.
Perhaps Bonneville racers will soon know what a wind tunnel test can do for
top speed...
