Louise;

 "...One racer has already said he is looking into adding helium bottles
with spray nozzles in the nose to see if he couldn't realize a speed
increase from lowered drag.

What fun. I love you speed freaks!..."

Well, if it's done right, it might help. I doubt that helium is nessary,
though. Didn't NASA, NACA, or somebody do some experiments years ago with a
"blown" wing to reduce drag? It had something to do with its boundry layer.
