328mph 1mile 1 Vaporware Lakster (Sim)

Hey

OK.  So I've been playing with this, thought I'd post early results.  Maybe get some discussion going on the parameters ie What are likely numbers for coefficients of static and rolling friction.  Wheel inertia?  Engine inertia?  Why does changing the wheel base from 120" to 180", without changing weight, coef drag, cross section area, make such a big difference?

Here a couple of .pdf converted from .xps ( because I am out of ink on my printer, scanner : ] )

First is a print from the form, second is output.

Fire it Up, the 70F and 28.9 something barometric, is just about right on for TM in March, yesterday with clouds it was 68F 30.09.  (from the weather on the net)
