VERY interesting, Matt. It agrees with similar tests done in Sweden a few 
years ago using a chase car & camera. One suggestion for more work for your 
project; I suspect most of the turbulence and resulting thick boundary layer 
along the sides comes from the frontmost section of our rain gutters, which 
are only pop-rivited on. Could I talk you into re-running this particular 
test with the driver's gutter removed or at least duct-taped smooth? I could 
be way-wrong, but maybe a simple front of the gutter removal would make the 
smaller scoops efective? Al Bloomberg's record-setting Bonneville pushbutton 
had its gutters removed but were never really tested.
THanks so much for your work- J DeRyke
