Years ago, in a race across Baja, California, I remember several tandems drafting behind delivery trucks which had both back doors tied wide open to create a vacuum. The tandems seemed to be riding within a foot or two of trucks' back bumper. I don't know how fast they were going, but I know they were really hauling on flat land. Seemed like maybe 45-50 mph when they passed me like I was standing still.
