high-speed laminar flow would be to find a Reno racer that does not maintain a smooth surfaced wing and a very highly polished prop.  The prop is interesting since the outer third of the blade is probably operating above .7 Mach.  My prop tip is at .75
 
I noticed that Mike Jones, Reno racer with a Glassair III had lightly sanded his propeller with a cross hatch pattern this year.  However he still was no competition for the Lancairs.
