It looks better and better as you go RiverMaxx. Your suspension should be setup for hardly any travel at all considering that you are doing straight shot speed runs on somewhat smooth surfaces with it. The other thing that comes to mind is that you want to have enough weight in this vehicle to keep it from floating up on you. You also need weight for the vehicle to carry some momentum as it travels down the course against the head winds, wich will help reduce the strain on your powerplant keeping everything cool. If it is too lite nothing will keep it from flying away once it hits the head-wind at 100mph. The weight needs to be proportional to the size of the scale. Having a lite weight vehicle is great for handling if you are racing on a dirt course, but for speed runs on a drag strip environment you really need some weight to keep it on the ground.

Just trying to share some thinking with you wheather you agree with me or not. I would really like to see you hit some serious speeds with this project, which will be a great example for myself and others to follow. I hope to do the same thing at some point. I think going over 100mph should be easy if you setup your build right. Surviving the run will be the real challenge, and having to repeat the same speed or better for certification is another thing all together. You have to be able to do two identical passes to qualify the record.
