Before I consume mass amounts of brain cells has anyone derived an equation to determine optimum rear wheel ballast, knowing Cd, Frontal Area, drag force, rear wheel HP.
At some point the effects of drag force will overcome the wheels ability to grab the salt and will start spinning without proper ballast. Can it be as simple as F=UN, where U = coefficient of friction between tire and salt, N = Normal force which is equal and opposite to weight on tire, and F = tangential force of wheel on ground as it is being driven; which must be greater than the drag forces pushing on the car.
