In drag racing we used to say the best way to remove one pound of weight is to find 16 places to take out one ounce. At speeds of 230 mph + and 500 miles, even the slightest reduction of drag is a possible game changer since just 2/10 of a second meant the difference between 1st place and 1st loser in the top 5 closest finishes!
