Quote: Front downforce and rear downforce create center lift...
The chassis will arch , but it is definitely not caused by lift as I understand the term. The rear wheels are trying to drive past the fronts and the front wing provided enough downforce to prevent a wheel stand and the tubes arched to the point of failure. Dixon said in a post crash interview that the car only had 50 passes on it. He seemed O.K. , but Man.......what a ride ! I always liked him as a driver , so I hope he can bounce back and return to the track. I don't know if Vandergriff has a spare car or not.
