Sadly, while we did better than average in our races, we never did exceptionally.
For many years, I have wondered why our cars never performed better. Our cars were designed to be aerodynamic, in fact little more than skateboards. They tipped the weight scales at just under the allowable limit. We sanded the burrs out of the wheel wells, and added lubrication for even less friction. Still, it seemed that there was something that we missed. One night recently, as I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep, it came to me!
