The history channel is the right place for this because it is ANCIENT
history.  The phenomenon of rear drive cars spinning before flying is
well known and readily explained.  The solutions are obvious:  front
drive, 4wd, and or lots of ballast.  Adding wings to stock bodies is
both illegal and beside the point.  You forgot to mention that Jim
rebuilt the crashed car and later topped 250 with it at El Mirage.

Land speed record attempts are drag races. The last thing you need is
lots of ballast. Wings assist in providing traction. Correctly designed
and installed wings are lower drag than large spoilers on the trunk of the car. Apparently Don forgot everything I taught him :)
