Mark came over and we did some testing with his hand held air speed guage.

Many readings were recorded.
Readings are based on a short pass up to 70mph.
Eventually all the front trunk rubber plugs were removed, large exit holes were drilled and a mock shroud was made.

Air speed right at front trunk hole was 56mph.

All holes open with the meter centered on the trunk floor- 17 mph

mock shround in place with meter over exit hole and gravel guard off- 20mph

With a proper shroud this should work quite well.
