I love it. Just mentioning you *may* want to review your front axle and get some kind of caster built in. High speed (and we are talking high speed) stability comes to mind. It also scrubs off steering sensitivity.

I'm also wondering is active aero might be a better method for keeping this thing in control

I'd wish you "god speed" but with the fire and brimstone coming out the back maybe "the luck of the devil " is more apt :lol:

Went to the HUDY Race this past weekend to race Formula 1 and VTA, great times great event!.... anyway I also promoted the landspeed car and had a lot of top-level drivers across the globe come check it out...My new decals from MCI had not arrived yet and came in after I got back, I will get them applied to the car asap...snow and cold coming here in next few days...but as soon as it warms up a bit I will commence testing.
