The end result was a smooth, compound-curved, thin, light, streamlined
shell of a body.

Forget that. I want the four-foot long micrometer secret!

How much energy is wasted while coasting over a thousand foot downhill
course if one (of four) wheels is one-thousandth inch out of alignment with
the other three?

Instead of expressing the loss in some esoteric unit of measurement, express
it in terms of "equivalent to pulling the racer X inches sideways".

How many builders align their wheels using a micrometer?

I do. I place the micrometer on the wheels, then get out the wheel
alignment tool (sledgehammer) and adjust...

Remember - the micrometer has all those number thingys on the handle. The
C-clamp doesn't!
