Weight distribution

A friend questioned how I thought the D2 would handle with 64% of the weight on the rear tires. He thought that the ideal weight distribution was 50/50 front to rear.

My answer was that 50/50 was great for a car with little horsepower. The D2 has plenty of power, larger rear tires than front and needs the rear weight bias to achieve outstanding acceleration without wheel spin.  My USAC midgets always had 60%+ rear weight bias and I am sure that the D2 will be able to utilize the extra rear weight to achieve great forward bite.
