Drag racing is what I would be doing the most, just because there is a drag strip nearby, and I know how everything works. I would like to try Bonneville sometime, but it is a bit far away.

While CD doesn't effect much in short drag races, it begins to help in longer ones. The reason I am shooting for a really low CD though, is for a very fuel efficient high-speed car.
