Well, son, experience is the first thing that comes to mind at the
moment. I would say that "the" first thing you'll ever hear a driver from
*any* racing discipline is, "get more seat time". It just seems to make
sense that more practice of anything will allow you to perform anything
much more efficiently.
For Example, what do you personally do well?
If someone came to you and said that they tried to do
whatever it is that you do well, but for some reason
didn't do it as well as you. What is the first thing
*you* would say?
BTW
As far as your SWA approximation, did you by any
chance take in account spring rates, moment and deflection?
What formula did you use to come up with the 40lbs of
downward force with your tailgate at X angle?
