Are we to understand that the big weight bias to the rear was for
traction, or was it to offset some aero upforce effect at high speed
with that particular body?  I assume under neutral aero conditions we
don't want a rearward weight bias because if there would be any
fishtailing, the tail-end weight would accentuate it and might increase
the tendency to spin or swap ends.  Bill
