Gary was out to Maxton awhile back. Extremely knowledgeable about all this
aero stuff. Whish we could get him to comment on some of the questions posed
here on this list.

I just ran across a new full size wind tunnel opening up in North Carolina.
It is co-owned by Gary Eaker. Listed were two notes of interest:

-- Co-designer, builder, and driver of 1988 Pontiac Trans-Am land speed
record holder at 293 mph. (Bonneville - 1989)
-- Co-aerodynamicist of GM's EV1 electric vehicle, world's lowest aero drag
production car (Cd = 0.19), holder of electric car speed record @ 183 mph in
1994

Anyone have any info on these?

They have a website check it out. Hey they do have pricing for non
professional racers.
