Maj;
CG and CP are the basis for aerodynamic stability but vehicle "stability" also depends on lots of other factors-- bump steer F & R can cause instability: front toe- out can, too. Roll centers, roll stiffness, tire sidewall lateral stiffness, height of the CG, weight transfer, etc., etc., are all factors affecting vehicle stability.
One is tempted to think that in straight- line LSR, these things don't matter since the car is not going around a corner as in circle track or road racing. As long as the car is going in a straight line these things matter little but once the vehicle deviates from a perfectly straight line, these factors begin to come into play. If one or more of these factors cause the deviation to increase, it gets out of hand quickly-- i.e., instability.
