-On 03-19-97, BOBBY QUEEN was conversing with MARTIN VINCENT
discussing Ford Thunderbird:

I read on NASCAR Online today that Rusty Wallace has been testing 
something that may be in limitied production by the middle of next 
model year.  It's not a Taurus, but would be based on the Taurus.
Also read (I guess as a result of the latest wind tunnel testing after 
Atlanta) that 'da Fords are changing again for Darlington (announced 
just yesterday or the day before!!),  air dam and spoiler, but I can't 
remember which goes up and which goes down.  Kinda screws up any 
previous testing done there!
And another thing, a clarification on antenna positioning, must be 
within 2 inches of roof centerline, midway front to back.  Also, NASCAR 
must approve positioning of roof cameras!  There was a voice message 
there today that was titled 'No More Roof Cams', but I didn't hear it, 
no sound card at work.  I gather this all comes from the last round of 
wind tunnel testing, is it possible that camera 'blade' sticking up 
gives the car that much more stability??
