guess what i saw yesterday????
Bah have to jump in to say something before I return to lurking...
He probably got that idea from boats. If anyone has any boating history, speed boats and such are painted with bumpy paint under the waterline. Contrary to the old idea that smoother was better, bumpy paint actually increases the hydrodynamics of a boats hull. Something that has to do with the scavenging effect of the low pressure behind each tiny bump - of course its much more complicated and involved then that though. I guess for a quick simple idea to get the idea you can think of golf ***** - the dimples are their for a reason
Regardless, air is definatly not water and does not behave the same way, and even if it did it would not be until speeds I doubt anyone can achieve in a car. Not to mention the weight of a full coat of bedliner will far outweigh any high speed aerodynamic benefits at the track o.O

I just figured he was thinking along those lines. I guess there is some theory behind it, but it still wont work on a car
. Boils down to misguided thinking IMO, although I do give him credit for thinking outside the box
