Minor errata for [/b] aircap - Rich knows this well, but the Packard V8 was used only in the 1956 Golden Hawk. While the Hawks do have a more perpendicular grille, and thus possibly a higher Cd than the 1953-54 Studes usually seen in LSR racers, the frontal area would be identical. A 1956 Golden Hawk with a built stroker Packard V8 ran something like 146 at Bonneville back around 1957 or 58.
