Good comments Richard. I choose to ignore the one about us all getting older, but you and George are correct. I also read the article in TBN. Interestingly I trashed my previous ‘liner for pretty much the same reasons. The car was a rear wheel drive, weight biased to the rear, turbo motor. I was on a warm up run (around 270)when the turbos came on about the time I ran into to some damp salt. The rear tires spun, car went side ways and that was the end of that. I knew the car had the CP/CG relationship backwards but it had never been a problem, until ……When we started designing the current car, we discussed the CP/CG issue and the folks at Riley Tech and Bob Riley insisted we build a model and do a wind tunnel test for stability, including yaw. We did that and proofed the design. The other issue was to go with all wheel drive. When running for the higher speeds, I am convinced AWD is a necessity for not only acceleration but for stability reasons as well. In describing the problem, I suggest to folks they take a pencil and put it between their two index fingers (inline) and push, no problem. now move one finger out of line and stability is no longer in the cards. One finger can be viewed as the driving force and the other the aero force. Now think about having a driving force at the same end as the aero force pushing in the opposite direction. Pretty simple. I will also offer that George and Ron’s car was not the only one with that problem running at Bonneville, there are others and it is only a matter of time as speeds increase and salt conditions continue to be marginal that the issue will persist. My incident was in 1990, really surprises me we are 24 years past and the issue is still around and being discussed like it is some new revelation. That said, it what makes Bonneville so cool, we all get to do our way.
