Dry lakes racing brilliant innovative idea, measuring the front end lift during the run

I don't remember who was just mentioned doing this at the Dry lakes Racing Hall of Fame inductions, (the memory just is falling apart faster than ever) but the streamliner was fitted with an old fashioned gas tank level system, and its indicator on the dash showed the driver if the front was lifting while running the Bonneville course

Tere has posted a great look around at the Mendenhall's Museum: http://justacargal-s.blogspot.com/2011/05/mendenhalls-gas-up-bbq.html where the hall or fame takes place, it's a museum of petroliana
