Who said it was "important?

I was just having a discussion with someone about the age-old question of whether it was more beneficial to run a pickup tailgate up or down flat, in terms of aerodynamic drag

I found pictures of the McCormack truck with the tailgate down, and the John Lovins truck with it up. Then, someone pointed out that the newer photos of the Lovins truck had a tonneau cover on it, and it made me wonder...

Not real important, but, interesting, don't you think?
I couldn't find anything in the rule book about it, one way or the other.

I'm sure somebody on this forum will have some firsthand information about the subject.
Lots of good information available here!
