John,
  The truck Glenn is talking about has most wt between the axles,so supports
your point . 35 gal water in fuel tank and much lead in bed. Would be better
along the frame, but we have more pressing matters to finish in the next few
weeks. It handles like it's on rails with the Pirelli tires on the rear ,but
not so with the old skinny Firestone Bonnys on it. That is when we Need the
driver!

that the requirements for LSR and road raceing are very different. To
demonstrate my point... we have an ordinary chevy pick up that acts like it
is "on rails" at nearly 200MPH on the other hand I doubt that it would be
very impressive as a road racer.
