The great thing about math and values is after a guy looks at them for a while and gains some real world on track experience, they begin to make sense in most cases. That is what it is all about to me anyway. I would think a chassis builder that liked math would want to learn things like this to help in deciding how to get close on Cg that works best, based on expected ET and driveline variables.
In my particular case, as I mentioned earlier, I wouldn't have set my motor back so far in the chassis I built.
It worked great at 9.60s, but became too wheelie prone when more power was added.
HT413 thanks for posting the formula
One question; how do you get the value of tangent?
