Well, here I go again. Same subject a different tangent, though.   If I 
had data, lots of data, then I would try and do something with it in the 
form of a rule of thumb set of numbers. Might give a good starting place 
for some one wanting to build a new or modify an older car.

If I had:
1) Wheel base
2) Front Track Eidth
3) Rear Track Width
4) Caster
5) Camber
6) Toe
7) Steering Angle Inclinaion
8) Nominal Vehicle Weight
9)  Scrub Radius
10) Front Tire Type (ie real rubber tire or machined from aluminum or ?)
11) Top speed attained at any  time with the above set up
12) Vehicle Weight
13) Comments about the handling qualities at speed.

I would  *NOT*  need to know the car, the driver, the class, or any 
other personal data associated with the car.  What I would like to do is 
build a data base of factors so that I can search to see if there are 
any common denominators.  I might put the information into parametric 
form of something say like wheelbase / average track width or maybe a 
lot of other combinations.  But mainly just to summarize the data into 
some meaningful information.  But I would need lots of real data input.  
If anybody is game, shoot the info to me what ever you have. I'll make 
an excel file and work from that...or you can tell me to blow it out 
my.....  well, you know where, lol..
