Unfortunately, Bonneville was canceled until next year due to rain; however, there happened to be a wind tunnel in Ogden, so I put the car in a wind tunnel instead. It worked out well. I was able to fine tune the aerodynamic mods. It was interesting riding in the car during the test. The car pitched and vibrated as if I was driving it. Although I have to wait a year, I will be totally prepared. <br>
<br>
Partial implementation of the aerodynamic mods, windshield installed and the engine/gear box bay exposed(that part of the under shield was attached adjacent to its center line location for the trip) yielded a %17.53 improvement in fuel consumption.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for the assistance.<br>
<br>

The car is almost complete for Bonneville except for some last minute aerodynamic
enhancements. An aerodynamic consultant has recommended an air dam like
on a Nascar for the front of the car. It would add 2.5 square feet to
the car frontal cross section. I looked on the internet and saw no TR3's
configured that way and I am not anxious to change the appearance of
the car from that of the original TR2. Does this recommendation make
sense? The car has a full under tray.<br>
