I was pitted right across from you in the little blue and white Geo
Storm, #72. I think only the motorcycles made more passes down that
mile than I did. I was amazed at what a couple pounds of tape can do.
I kept taping more and more, a little at a time, and every foot of tape
amounted to .010 mph. By the time I made my last run on Sunday I had
added over 30 feet of tape and 3.100 mph. For that little thing, that
was over 3% increase, which is a pretty good return on a roll of tape!
I've got a couple of good shots of your car too, and as soon as I get
them scanned I'll e-mail them to you.
