Greetings and a question...

Also the Mooneye Jocko car was used for a cigarette advertisment - I got a video from this.
Gary Gabelich drove the car for this add.
The black Wynn's liner had the problem that it produced so much downforce on the rear that it lift the front, due to the extreme short wheelbase. Not the right think - Don Garlits told me, that by 180 the car couldn't be steer anymore, the front wheels lost than the contact to the ground......

Porky,
That's what I meant when I described driver Maas' reactions to the car's behavior -  "weathervaning' or the "ende wagging the hund".

I also think air under the front of the car PLUS the short wheelbase was a factor. Unlike the Allison car there was an ample radius at the front between the wheel bubbles- Jocko wanted to experiment with rear ride height as I recall and thus the radius in front at the "leading edge" of the center body.

Jocko gets p***ed when front end lift is suggested.

Did Jocko's liners have full belly pans? I guess I always assumed they did, but I've never seen any pictures that showed a pan. In fact the Garlits car chassis doesn't look like it has any way to mount a pan.
