So, designing the tail to affect the slipstream could prevent drafting... would NASCAR use this feature? Would NASCAR drivers want to deny the guy behind them the drafting benefit?

Why were boat tail speedsters so popular?

Type 356 Porsche... what a beautiful sweeping design, grace, and simplicity. Excellent

John A McCurdy, Silver Dart, 1909, Nova Scotia
Imagine that you are in 1909, and taking this out for its maiden voyage... hoping all the nuts and bolts are tight, and that nothing was forgotten in the final assembly.It was flown off the ice of Baddeck Bay Nova Scotia, on 23 February 1909, making it the first controlled powered flight in Canada.
The aircraft was piloted by one of its designers, John McCurdy, and built by the Aerial Experiment Association, formed under the guidance of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell.
