Gunrack's front end starts to float at 155 (closed course, with a pro driver). I NEVER took it past 140 on the track straights, maybe I'm a woose, but it SCARED me.

I don't have the eyesight and the reflexes for this kinda stuff anymore.

I'm guessing that our late-1950's aerodynamics are like a high-aspect wing formula...

She wants to FLY!!!

A detachable airdam in the front, maybe, professional tweaking of the suspension, maybe, and (God forbid) a functional wing in the rear?

Not for me.

I will wave as you, literally, fly past.
