Weight distribution?

[Seldom Seen Slim]

If you don't want to use a Finn, maybe a German or a Swede would do as well.

......................
In the new picture I'm posting I added a tail that looks to be a little larger than your old tail and put 100 more pounds over the front axle.  This moved the CP a fair ways behind the CG.  ......................

Note I used an example of 100 lbs. more over the front axle.  If you moved the same 100 lbs. to the nose, similar to Ack Attacks water tank at the very front, it would move the CG even further forward than if it was over the front axle, I think.

So you could  do "one", more weight in the front.  "Two" a bigger "finn" and/or both.  Oh yes the 4th option is the drivers could visit the buffet at State Line or what ever it is now called more often  .

c ya,

It's easy to forget how small the car is until you loook at landracing's shot with the push truck.  What size wheels (and tires) are those?

ya, it always looks big till you put it next to anything else, then perspective sinks in.  The fronts are about 17 inches tall size 18 X 4.4, the backs are 19ish tall 20 X 4.4.  That's 10 and 12 inch rims.  Stop by and see us, we have shade in the line.  Car looks larger on the trailer too.

I think the tall guy (Mr Stainless himself) had better skip the buffets  .  He gets any taller and they are going to have to extend the wheel base on the car and then who knows where the CG and CP will end up  ,

I thought those extra buffet visits had an effect on width rather than heigth.  Bigger impact on drag though.

 We added a foot to the car so Stainless could drive.

Sum,

they already did... I suggested they just cut him off at the knee's... They opted for the harder task and add about 1 ft in the middle of the car.

The sacrifices your "friends" make to help ...

We feel very honored with our successes with the little car.  It has put 3 of us in the 200 MPH club.  Occasionally all the stars and moons fall into the correct alignment and when that happens to any of us, it is the magic of landspeed racing...

OK I'm not even going to try to guess which one is who in that picture...

Ok I'm off to claw my eyes out of my head now....
